Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dick and Dr. Dan; Or, the Boy Monster Hunters of the Bad Lands" by C. Little is a serialized novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around 1900. The narrative revolves around two boys, Dick Darrell and Charley Nicholson, who work in the paleontological department of a museum and become embroiled in an adventure about a rumored prehistoric monster in the Bad Lands of Wyoming. As they embark on an expedition to investigate sightings of the creature, the boys encounter dangers, both from the monstrous Plesiosaurus and from human adversaries, setting the stage for a thrilling tale of youth, bravery, and exploration. At the start of the novel, we meet Dick and Charley, who are excitedly discussing a telegram from Professor Poynter that invites Dick on a new adventure following his previous success in South Carolina. They soon learn about a mysterious creature sighted in the Bad Lands and are given the task of investigating it. After a series of events that introduce danger from both the monster and the scoundrel Martin Mudd, the narrative finds its momentum as Dick and his friends navigate their way through the Bad Lands, driven by the mystery of the creature they are pursuing and the complexities of their personal entanglements with Clara Eglinton, a girl caught in a sinister plot. The opening sets the tone for an engrossing adventure filled with both excitement and challenges.
