in pursuance of his intention to write stories full of lively, wholesome adventure for boys, the author presents "the rambler club in the mountains," following "the rambler club afloat," and "the rambler club's winter camp."
the five boys leave their home in wisconsin and journey to the far-away state of oregon. there, in the mountain wilderness, among the haunts of big game, they meet with plenty of exciting adventures; and dick travers, the "official photographer," succeeds in making some remarkable snap-shots.
"little bill" dugan and "surly joe" tomlin, who are harboring fancied grievances, unintentionally bring the boys into great peril. their thrilling experience, however, enables them to solve the mystery in the fate of howard fenton, who has been carried through the gorge of canyon river.
the ramblers find all their courage and endurance called into play, but prove again that they are made of the right stuff.
in spite of all they have gone through, the boys have not lost their love for roughing it, and they look forward with pleasure to other adventures with rifle and rod, some of which are recounted in "the rambler club on circle t ranch."
