Description

Five hardy Boy Scouts, each from a different New York patrol, have traded the city’s bustle for the raw silence of the far north. Led by Ned Nestor, a quiet scout with a hidden government assignment, they’ve trekked across endless bogs, towering pines and frozen rivers, pitching camp under a sky that threatens rain before dawn. Their camaraderie is evident in the banter and easy teamwork that turns a simple tent‑set up into a ritual of brotherhood.

Now they press onward toward the mysterious shores of Hudson Bay, driven by personal ambitions as varied as secret service work, a budding journalist’s thirst for a story, and the dream of becoming a modern explorer. The harsh wilderness tests their stamina, resourcefulness, and the resolve of each boy, while the looming unknown—both the frozen expanse ahead and the hidden motives among them—adds a subtle tension to their quest. Listeners will feel the chill of the Arctic wind and the pulse of youthful adventure with every step they take.

About the author

GH

G. Harvey (George Harvey) Ralphson

1879–1940

Best known for fast-moving Boy Scout adventures, this name belongs less to one easily pinned-down writer than to a publishing-era house identity behind popular juvenile fiction. The books mix action, travel, patriotism, and early-20th-century ideas of scouting in a way that made them durable favorites in boys' series fiction.
