E-text prepared by Scott G. Sims and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Rover Boys In The Mountains; Or, A Hunt for Fun and Fortune" by Stratemeyer is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book follows the Rover brothers—Dick, Tom, and Sam—as they embark on a winter adventure in the Adirondacks, navigating their school life, dealing with adversaries, and uncovering mysteries related to a brass-lined money casket they discovered during a previous trip. The opening of the novel introduces the Rover boys at Putnam Hall, where excitement builds over the frozen lake, promising great skating ahead. As the brothers discuss potential skating matches, a conflict arises with a wealthy but arrogant peer, William Tubbs, leading to a physical altercation. This situation attracts the attention of their strict teacher, Jasper Grinder, who punishes Sam and Tubbs by sending them to confinement, under the care of the increasingly volatile Grinder. The narrative establishes the dynamics between characters, setting the stage for the boys' inventive escapades, and hints at further conflict with their namesake antagonist, Dan Baxter, suggesting that the boys' winter adventure will lead to both fun and unforeseen challenges.
