When some of the popular juvenile novels of the early 1900s utilized Boy Scouts as protagonists in astounding adventures, such as foiling foreign plots to overthrow the United States, Scout officials decided that such books gave an unrealistic view of their movement and they commissioned Percy K. Fitzhugh to create Scout heroes of less flamboyant doings. His series became extremely popular among young readers, who followed the more authentic activities of Tom Slade, Pee Wee Harris, Westy Martin and Roy Blakeley.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
