The year is 1914, and America trembles with anticipation as Battery K marches off to mobilization camp. For three Boy Scouts, Hugh, Bud, and Blake, this isn't just a chance to see the soldiers. Their friend Felix Gregory's inheritance hangs in the balance, and only by reaching the camp in time can they set things right. What follows is a breathless race against obstacles: a stubborn motor car that won't start, a burning bridge blocking their path, and a shadowy figure who seems determined to stop them at every turn. The boys must draw on every Scout skill they've learned, resourcefulness, teamwork, and plain stubborn courage, to outwit their mysterious adversary and reach Felix before it's too late. This is Boy Scout adventure at its purest: a thrilling period piece that captures an era when boys proved their worth through action, when honor meant something, and when a group of friends could change a man's fate simply by refusing to give up. Perfect for readers who love classic adventure tales and anyone who believes in the power of loyalty and quick thinking.
