Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Rover Boys on Snowshoe Island; or, The Old Lumberman's Treasure Box" by Arthur M. Winfield (Edward Stratemeyer) is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the Rover Boys—Jack, Andy, Randy, and their cousin Fred—as they delve into new adventures while studying at Colby Hall. The narrative revolves around their escapades, including a winter ice-skating race and the discovery of a mysterious old lumberman on Snowshoe Island." "The beginning of the story introduces the Rover Boys enjoying a winter afternoon at Clearwater Lake, where they enthusiastically participate in a skating race. They engage in friendly competition and playful banter while attempting to impress their peers, particularly a group of girls. The atmosphere shifts dramatically when the ice begins to crack beneath their feet, leading to a frantic rescue effort as the boys help several girls, including Ruth Stevenson, escape from danger. This thrilling scenario sets the stage for their eventual encounter with Uncle Barney Stevenson, who, despite his apparent bitterness towards Ruth's family, proves to be an intriguing character in the unfolding mystery."
