About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Motor Boys Overland; or, A Long Trip for Fun and Fortune by Clarence Young. Read in English by Librivox volunteers. Here we have the second volume of “The Motor Boys Series,” a line of books relating to the doings of some bright and up-to-date youths, on wheels, at home and abroad. In the first volume of the series, called “The Motor Boys,” the writer told how Bob, Ned and Jerry won several important races, including that which brought to them a much-wished-for prize, a grand touring car. The car won, there was nothing to do but to take a long trip, and in this present book, “The Motor Boys Overland,” are given the particulars of a journey in the automobile to the great West. On the way the boys fall in with an old miner, who has the secret of a lost gold mine of great value. The lads decide to take the miner to the lost mine in their touring car, and the long and perilous journey among the mountains is begun. Enemies also hear of the wonderful lost mine, and then begins a wild race, to see who shall get there first and claim the riches. - Summary from the preface Clarence Young was a house pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for series of books for boys.
