THE HICKORY RIDGE BOY SCOUTS GREAT HIKE; OR, THE PRIDE OF THE KHAKI TROOP. CHAPTER I. THE INSECTS OF THE UNITED STATES. Title: Great Hike or, The Pride of the Khaki Troop Author: Alan Douglas Language: English Character set encoding: ISO-8859-1 E-text prepared by The Hickory Ridge Boy Scouts A SERIES OF BOOKS FOR BOYS By Capt. Alan Douglas, Scout-master —————— The Campfires of the Wolf Patrol Their first camping experience affords the scouts splendid opportunities to use their recently acquired knowledge in a practical way. Elmer Chenowith, a lad from the northwest woods, astonishes everyone by his familiarity with camp life. A clean, wholesome story every boy should read. Woodcraft; or, How a Patrol Leader Made Good This tale presents many stirring situations in which the boys are called upon to exercise ingenuity and unselfishness. A story filled with healthful excitement. Pathfinder; or, The Missing Tenderfoot Some mysteries are cleared up in a most unexpected way, greatly to the credit of our young friends. A variety of incidents follow fast, one after the other. Fast Nine; or, a Challenge from Fairfield They show the same team-work here as when in camp. The description of the final game with the team of a rival town, and the outcome thereof, form a stirring narrative. One of the best baseball stories of recent years. Great Hike; or, The Pride of The Khaki Troop After weeks of preparation the scouts start out on their greatest undertaking. Their march takes them far from home, and the good-natured rivalry of the different patrols furnishes many interesting and amusing situations. Endurance Test; or, How Clear Grit Won the Day Few stories "get" us more than illustrations of pluck in the face of apparent failure. Our heroes show the stuff they are made of and surprise their most ardent admirers. One of the best stories Captain Douglas has written. Under Canvas; or, The Hunt for the Cartaret Ghost It was hard to disbelieve the evidence of their eyes but the boys by the exercise of common-sense solved a mystery which had long puzzled older heads. Storm-bound; or, a Vacation Among the Snow Drifts The boys start out on the wrong track, but their scout training comes to the rescue and their experience proves beneficial to all concerned. —————— Boy Scout Nature Lore to be Found in The Hickory Ridge Boy Scout Series, all illustrated:— Wild Animals of the United States—Tracking—Trees and Wild Flowers of the United States—Reptiles of the United States—Fishes of the United States—Insects of the United States and Birds of the United States. ———————————— Cloth Binding Cover Illustrations in Four Colors 40c.
