1911
A novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure follows the escapades of two brothers, Tom and Jack Dacre, as they embark on a journey from their serene life in Maine to the great, untamed wilderness of Washington State. The story is filled with excitement and danger as the boys encounter new challenges, including the notorious Bully Banjo and his illegal activities. At the start of the narrative, Mr. Chisholm Dacre, the boys' uncle, receives a letter proposing a visit to Washington to explore investment opportunities in timber and fruit country. As their uncle suggests an upcoming trip, Tom and Jack express their growing feelings of restlessness from their once-exciting home. The opening chapters introduce a vibrant cast of characters, including their humorous neighbor, Mrs. Bijur, and hint at upcoming adventures involving the professor's dangerous experiments. The boys' lives soon intertwine with the criminal elements in the region, leading them to confront exciting and perilous situations that lie ahead.
