Description

Two determined scouts set out from their hometown just after a hearty Thanksgiving feast, hauling heavy packs toward the remote shanty on Stormberg Mountain. Bud Morgan, an inventive but often unlucky tinkerer, finally confides in his patrol leader, Hugh Hardin, about a new contraption he’s been perfecting all summer. Hugh, the natural leader respected by every patrol, agrees to accompany Bud on the short window of school “turkey‑eating time” to give the invention a real‑world trial.

As they trek through snow‑slick trails and frozen ridges, the boys’ camaraderie and resolve are tested by the harsh elements and the weight of their gear. Their journey showcases the spirit of early‑20th‑century scouting—resourcefulness, teamwork, and a dash of youthful daring. Listeners will be drawn into the crisp mountain air, the crackle of campfire tales, and the anticipation of what Bud’s mysterious gadget might achieve before night falls.

Robert Shaler

Best known for a long run of early Boy Scout adventure stories, this elusive writer filled his books with action, teamwork, and practical know-how. His novels capture the upbeat, can-do spirit that shaped much of children's series fiction in the early 1900s.
