Beschreibung

In "Boy Scouts on the Open Plains; Or, The Round-Up Not Ordered," G. Harvey Ralphson combines adventure with the values of early 20th-century Americana, presenting a vivid tapestry of camaraderie, self-reliance, and the great outdoors. The narrative follows a group of Boy Scouts as they embark on a thrilling journey across the expansive plains, navigating challenges that test their resourcefulness and teamwork. Ralphson'Äôs literary style, characterized by vivid descriptive passages and an engaging, action-driven plot, captures the spirit of the scouting movement during a time when it was a burgeoning cultural phenomenon aimed at youth development and outdoor education. G. Harvey Ralphson, a passionate advocate for youth and outdoor activities, was deeply influenced by the Boy Scouts' principles of leadership and moral character. His own experiences as an outdoor enthusiast and educator inspired his desire to instill these values in young readers through compelling stories that emphasize growth through adventure. The early 20th century was a pivotal time for the scouting movement, and Ralphson's work reflects a keen understanding of its cultural significance, aiming to inspire a generation through fiction. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of youth literature and early American culture. Offering insights into perseverance, friendship, and the joys of exploration, Ralphson'Äôs tale not only entertains but also imparts enduring lessons that resonate with readers of all ages. Its rich narrative and moral undertones make it a charming addition to the canon of children's adventure literature.

    The Scientific Pioneer - When...

    The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S. Bond is a clever and heartfelt story that captures the spirit of discovery—and the price that sometimes comes with it. First published in the golden age of science fiction, it tells of a man whose brilliant ideas and tireless curiosity push him to the edge of what science can explain. Bond balances humor and humility as he explores how genius can both uplift and isolate. It’s a story that feels as relevant today as it did decades ago—a reminder that progress often depends on dreamers willing to risk everything for an idea. 
    Like many of Bond’s works, The Scientific Pioneer blends imagination with warmth. His characters aren’t distant heroes or villains but ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. Beneath the scientific speculation lies a deep respect for human creativity—the kind that builds rockets, invents machines, or simply dares to ask “what if?” 
    Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author whose lively imagination helped shape early pulp and magazine science fiction. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a journalist before becoming one of the most prolific short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. His tales appeared in Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, and Blue Book, often featuring humor, irony, and unexpected twists. 
    Bond was best known for his Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman series, which combined scientific ingenuity with playful comedy. Beyond science fiction, he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and radio and television scripts, proving equally adept in every medium he touched. Though he later turned to other work, his early stories remain bright examples of pulp-era storytelling—energetic, human, and filled with wonder at what the future might hold.

    YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
    PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
    Book 4 of 6 – The mutiny of the missing shortbread 
    Here is the summary description of this book: 
    When Anne Bonny's prized shortbread vanishes from The Salty Pickle, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) declares it an act of mutiny. The crew searches their Bristol docked ship for crumbs, suspecting rival pirates—until Israel spots seagulls feasting in nearby bushes. The audacious birds, led by a scream-mimicking alpha gull, had staged an elaborate heist: one distracted Anne with her own signature shriek while others carried off the treats. A chaotic harbor chase ensues, with Benjamin's slingshot recovering scraps of the stolen shortbread. Though outsmarted, Edward admires the gulls' piratical cunning and proposes an alliance—Anne will bake extra batches in exchange for avian lookouts. The tale blends humor with authentic 1690s Bristol harbor life, showing Edward's early leadership and flair for turning foes into assets—a skill that would later define history's most notorious pirate.  
    This is the fourth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this instalment, and it's only $3. 
    the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
    The story itself runs to about 16 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
