Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Boy Scouts on the Open Plains; Or, The Round-Up Not Ordered" by G. Harvey Ralphson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows a group of Boy Scouts, led by Ned Nestor, as they navigate the rugged landscapes of the American West, ready to face new challenges and adventures. The narrative centers around the camaraderie and resourcefulness of the boys as they encounter both the beauty of nature and the dangers it presents, including wildlife and the threat of malicious ranchers. The opening of the book introduces the four main characters—Ned Nestor, Jimmy McGraw, Jack Bosworth, and Harry Stevens—who are on their way to visit Ned's uncle's ranch after an arduous journey through the mountains. As they descend from the peaks, excitement builds at the thought of finally reaching the open plains. However, their descent takes a perilous turn when Jimmy's reckless actions lead him over the edge of a cliff, only to be saved by the quick thinking of his friends. As they continue on their adventure, they encounter a range of obstacles and dangers, setting the stage for thrilling escapades that follow, including the threat of a wolf pack later in the story.
