John Henry Goldfrap
A novel written in the early 20th century. It follows a group of young Boy Scouts, including Rob Blake, Corporal Merritt Crawford, and Tubby Hopkins, as they embark on an adventurous journey filled with encounters in the deserts of Arizona, challenges from local cowboys, and threats from Moqui Indians. The boys' experiences highlight themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the spirit of scouting. At the start of the story, the three boys arrive in the small town of Mesaville excited about their invitation to the cattle ranch of Mr. Harkness. As they adapt to the local culture, they find themselves in a confrontation with rude cow-punchers. Rob's quick thinking and athleticism shine when he stands up for himself, leading to a skirmish that draws further attention to the boys. The narrative hints at deeper conflicts as they learn of Moqui Indians in the area, setting the stage for impending challenges that will test their skills, resolve, and the true meaning of being Boy Scouts.
