Boys of the Fort or a Young Captain's Bluck (1901)

Popular western novel for children, first published in 1901, part of the Flag of Freedom series. According to the Preface: "In penning this tale I had it in mind to acquaint my young readers with the ins and outs of military life at one of our Western forts of to-day, showing what both officers and privates are called upon to do, and what troubles the Indians and the bad men of that locality are still in the habit of making. The field is one about which little has been written, although abounding in interest, and one which is worthy the attention of all who have the proper development of our country at heart."
