First edition limited to 750 copies, 8vo, pp. xvii, [1], 142; frontispiece portrait and 16 plates; near fine in original green cloth, with the remains of the printed dust jacket laid in. This copy inscribed "For Colton Storm - who knows why and how this book was done. Without thanks but with appreciation none-the-less -- Jake Blanck 12/27/41." A popular writer of boys' fiction in the late 19th century, Castlemon (pseudonym for Charles Austin Fosdick, 1842-1915) should be ranked along side Horatio Alger and G. A. Henty, though his popularity was short-lived. He produced about 58 titles, many of them featuring "Frank Nelson," a character Castlemon modeled after himself.
