About This Book

A trio of schoolboy brothers depart their academy for the Adirondack wilderness to investigate a brass-lined money casket found on a lake island. The plot mixes campus life, rivalries, and pranks with extended outdoor action including river travel, camping, hunting, encounters with bears and wolves, narrow escapes from enemies, and winter storms that strand the boys. Adventure scenes emphasize self-reliance, teamwork, and practical resourcefulness as the youths pursue treasure, confront antagonists, and resolve the central mystery.
