VOLUME SIX
DAVE PORTER AT STAR RANCH
Or The Cowboy’s Secret
Illustrated by Lyle T. Hammond 12mo Cloth Price, $1.25
FROM his home, Dave, in company with his sister and some chums, journeys to the boundless west. At the ranch the lads fall in with both good and bad cowboys, and the hero has a thrilling time of it riding a “busting bronco.” Some horses disappear in a mysterious manner, and while trying to get back to the ranch on foot two of the lads are caught in a furious storm, that blows down a big tree on top of them. There are many scenes of hunting and rounding-up of cattle, and once a stampede adds to the excitement. Mr. Stratemeyer has traveled through the country he describes and gives a picture as accurate as it is entertaining.
“The author of ‘Dave Porter’ is a prime favorite with the boys.”—Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer.
