Phil Bradley's Mountain Boys : or, The Birch Bark Lodge
by Silas K. Boone
About the author
Silas K. Boone is known for boys' adventure fiction from the early 1900s. The works that are easiest to confirm today are the Phil Bradley books preserved by Project Gutenberg, including Phil Bradley's Mountain Boys; or, The Birch Bark Lodge and Phil Bradley's Snow-shoe Trail; Or, The Mountain Boys in the Canada Wilds.
His stories are centered on wilderness travel, camp life, and loyal groups of friends facing danger together. The settings and subjects linked to his books include the Adirondack Mountains, camping, snowshoeing, hunting, and other outdoor adventures, which gives his writing a lively, practical feel.
Very little trustworthy biographical information about Boone himself appears to be readily available from major reference sources, so most of what can be said with confidence comes from the books and their publication records rather than from detailed personal history.
