Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Frank Reade, Jr., and His New Steam Man; or, The Young Inventor's Trip to the Far West" by "Noname" is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Frank Reade Jr., a talented young inventor who surpasses even his famous father, as he embarks on an adventurous journey with his new creation, the Steam Man, to save an innocent man wrongfully accused of murder. The opening of the novel introduces Frank Reade Sr., a once-great inventor who is now unable to pursue adventures, passing the mantle to his son. Frank Jr. is engaged in the development of a remarkable new machine, while the plot quickly thickens with the revelation of a friend from his father's past who is in dire trouble. This friend, Jim Travers, has been framed for a murder he did not commit, and Frank Jr. is determined to investigate the mystery, using his innovative invention. The chapter ends with Frank preparing for a journey that promises excitement and danger as he heads toward the prairies to uncover the truth and rescue his friend.
