Frank Merriwell's Backers

Frank Merriwell—the clean-cut, vigorous hero of dozens of dime novels by Burt L. Standish—excels in sports, solves mysteries, rights wrongs, and dares to do right no matter what the consequences. “Frank Merriwell’s Backers”—originally published as a serial in “Tip Top Weekly” magazine in 1903—is a Western in which Frank’s enemies try to take from him some valuable mines he owns.
