The New Boy's Leather-Stocking
By Ernest Thompson Seton
Rolf in The Woods
Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton
Being the Adventure of a Boy Scout with Indian Quonab and Little Dog Skookum in the War of 1812.
When Rolf Kittering crawled out of the window of his little attic room that night to escape his infuriated and brutal uncle, there was no refuge for him to seek except the camp of his chance friend, old Quonab the Indian. The story of his life outdoors, of the fight with the monster snapping turtle, of the journey to the great North Woods, and how the boy came to know the intimate life of the wild creatures, will make any boy's, or man's, heart beat faster with admiring envy.
The most exciting portion of all is where Rolf comes to put his new knowledge into practice as a daring scout during the War of 1812.
Profusely illustrated and with marginal decorations by the author.
