The Boy Scouts Book of Stories

By Morgan Robertson, Owen Johnson, Melville Davisson Post and 2 more

So much of my time is given to reading boys' books that, when I read books for grown-ups, now and again I find myself saying, -What a bully story for boys to read - Latterly, I have been putting down the titles of such stories. When the list began to lengthen, it occurred to me, why not make a book for boys containing stories like that: stories written for grown-ups but also of interest to boys in their early teens.

Morgan Robertson

Morgan Robertson was an American writer best known for his novel Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan, a prescient novel published in 1898 about the catastrophic sinking of an “unsinkable” ocean liner, eerily similar to the sinking of the Titanic fourteen years later. Robertson also penned The Submarine Destroyer, Three Laws and the Golden Rule, and the short story “Beyond the Spectrum,” which described a future war between the United States and the Empire of Japan. Morgan Robertson died in 1915.
