Boy Scout And Other Stories For Boys, The by Richard Harding Davis (1864 - 1916)Author: LibriVox
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS, as a friend and fellow author has written of him, was youth incarnate, and there is probably nothing that he wrote of which a boy would not some day come to feel the appeal. But there are certain of his stories that go with especial directness to a boys heart and sympathies and make for him quite unforgettable literature. A few of these were made some years ago into a volume, Stories for Boys, and found a large and enthusiastic special public in addition to Daviss general readers; and the present collection from stories more recently published is issued with the same motive. This book takes its title from The Boy Scout, the first of its tales; and it includes The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Blood Will Tell, the immortal Gallegher, and The Bar Sinister, Daviss famous dog story. It is a fresh volume added to what Augustus Thomas calls safe stuff to give to a young fellow who likes to take off his hat and dilate his nostrils and feel the wind in his face.
