Three friends. Thousands of acres of untamed forest. And the kind of adventure that builds character. Garry Boone, Phil Durant, and Dick Wallace are forest rangers patrolling the deep woods, where danger wears many faces: creeping forest fires, hardened criminals, and the merciless wilderness itself. As they ride out from their lumber camp base to resume duties at West Branch, the Ranger Boys face a world that tests their courage, their friendship, and their wilderness skills at every turn. Written in the early 20th-century tradition of wholesome adventure fiction, this is a story about young men earning their keep and proving themselves in the most demanding classroom on earth: the forest. The writing has that appealing old-fashioned directness, the kind that trusts a twelve-year-old to handle peril without flinching. For readers who love nature, friendship, and stories where the heroes earn their rewards through honest work and quick thinking.
