My main object in writing this series of books is to acquaint
lads with life in the open air, and cause them to become interested
in nature. In the first volume, called "Four Boy Hunters," I
told how the youths organized their little club and went forth
for a summer vacation; in the second book, "Guns and Snowshoes,"
I gave the particulars of a midwinter outing, with its heavy falls
of snow, its blizzard, and its most remarkable Christmas in the
wilds.
With the coming of another summer the boys determined to go forth
once more, and what they did then has been told in the third book,
entitled "Young Hunters of the Lake." They had a glorious time,
in spite of some enemies who tried to do them harm, and they settled
the matter of certain "ghost" to their entire satisfaction.
The settling of the ghost question took them home before the summer
vacation was half over, and then the boys began to wonder what
they had best do next. But that question was soon answered by
an announcement made by the father of one of the lads; and once
again they went forth, this time, however, to the distant mountains.
