Four Boy Hunters; Or, The Outing of the Gun Club E-text prepared by Jim Ludwig "Four Boy Hunters; Or, The Outing of the Gun Club" by Edward Stratemeyer is a children's adventure novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows four boys—Charley Dodge, Sheppard Reed, Frank Dawson (nicknamed Whopper), and Will Caslette (known as Giant)—who form a gun club and plan a camping trip in the wilderness to hunt and fish. As they embark on their adventure, they encounter various challenges, including a fire at a local sawmill, an unwelcoming local landowner, and the overarching need to adapt their plans as numerous obstacles arise. At the start of the novel, the boys are seen participating in target shooting, illustrating their camaraderie and excitement for their upcoming trip. Their plans quickly shift when they hear about a fire at the sawmill owned by Charley’s father, which draws their immediate attention. Amidst the fire and the subsequent investigation into the arson, they also grapple with issues at home regarding permission for their expedition. Their adventure is further complicated when they encounter Andrew Felps, who claims the land where they set up camp, prompting the young hunters to pack up and search for a new place to stay. This opening sets the stage for a series of outdoor escapades filled with action, teamwork, and the thrill of youth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
