  INTRODUCTION.

  My dear boys: "The Rover Boys in the Mountains" is a complete story initself, but forms the sixth volume of the "Rover Boys Series for YoungAmericans."

  This series of books for wide-awake American lads was begun severalyears ago with the publication of "The Rover Boys at School." At thattime the author had in mind to write not more than three volumes,relating the adventures of Dick, Tom, and Sam Rover at Putnam Hall, "Onthe Ocean," and "In the Jungle," but the publication of these booksimmediately called for a fourth, "The Rover Boys Out West," and then afifth, "The Rover Boys on the Great Lakes." Still my young friends didnot appear to be satisfied, and so I now present to them this sixthvolume, which relates the stirring adventures of the three Rover boys inthe Adirondacks, whither they had gone to solve the mystery of a certainbrass-lined money casket found by them on an island in Lake Huron.

  In writing this volume I have had a double purpose in view; not only topen a tale which might prove pleasing to all boys, but one which mightlikewise give them a fair idea of the wonderful resources and naturalbeauty of this section of the United States. Ours is a wonderfulcountry, and none of us can learn too much concerning it.

  Again thanking my young friends for their kindness in the past, I placethis volume in their hands, trusting they will find it as much to theirliking as those which have preceded it.

  Affectionately and sincerely yours,

  ARTHUR M. WINFIELD.

  THE ROVER BOYS IN THE MOUNTAINS.
