MY DEAR BOYS: This book is a complete story in itself, but forms the eighteenth volume in a line issued under the general title of The Rover Boys Series for Young Americans.
As I have mentioned in some of the other volumes, this line was started with the publication of The Rover Boys at School, On the Ocean, and In the Jungle. The books were so well received that they were followed, year after year, by the publication of The Rover Boys Out West, On the Great Lakes, In Camp, On Land and Sea, On the River, On the Plains, In Southern Waters, On the Farm, On Treasure Isle, At College, Down East, In the Air, and then In New York, where we last met the lads.
The boys are growing older—as all boys do—and Dick is married, and helping his father in business. In the present story Sam and Tom return to college, until something quite out of the ordinary occurs and the fun-loving Tom disappears most mysteriously. Sam and Dick go in search of their brother, and the trail leads them to far-away Alaska, where they encounter many perils in the fields of ice and snow.
The publishers assure me that by the end of the present year the total of sales on this series of books will have reached one million and a half copies ! This is, to me, truly amazing, and I cannot help but feel profoundly grateful to all the boys and girls, and their parents, who have taken such an interest in my stories. I trust with all my heart that the reading of the books will do the young folks good.
