"The Galloping Ghost" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery story for boys written in the early 20th century. The book follows the protagonist, Red Rodgers, a college football star known as the "Red Rover," who has been kidnapped and taken to a mysterious island. As he navigates his unexpected captivity, he encounters comradery in another captive, Berley Todd, who becomes an ally in their quest for escape. The beginning of the story establishes the premise of Red's kidnapping, detailing his bewilderment as he wakes in an unfamiliar place after being abducted from a train. He recalls his life as a football player and his aspirations intertwining with the urgency of escaping his captors. As he contemplates the situation, he also overhears a tense conversation involving another captive, a girl named Berley, who refuses to comply with her captors’ demands. Their shared predicament leads to the formation of a bond as they strategize an escape from the island, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure filled with danger and growing camaraderie.
