Frank in the Mountains
Philadelphia: Henry T. Coates & Co., [1896]
“Harry Castlemon” was the nom de plume of Charles Austin Fosdick, one of the most prolific writers of adventure stories for boys. He published at least 60 books, most of which were continuously reprinted, including the adventures of the eponymous “Frank,” who appears in Frank on a Gun-boat (1864); Frank Before Vicksburg (1864); Frank on the Lower Mississippi (1867); Frank, the Young Naturalist (1864); Frank on the Prairie (1869); Frank in the Mountains (1864); Frank in the Woods (1865); Frank Among the Rancheros (1865); Frank at Don Carlos' Rancho (1868). Frank solves most problems with Yankee ingenuity and superior firepower. Fosdick once remarked: “Boys don't like fine literature. What they want is adventure, and the more of it you can get in two-hundred-fifty pages of manuscript, the better fellow you are.”
