An Adventure on Red Rover

An Adventure on Red Rover

Adventure, Rough'n It,

This is an illustrated 12-page story by William J. Little about an attack by three giant birds on Walter Allen, age 12, Otho Strong, age 14, who are rescued by Arthur Little, age 14, aided by Elmer Green (no age given). Walter and Otho are held captive by the ferocious birds in a cave on the mining island of Red Rover for five days before their rescue. The naming pattern in this book fascinatingly combines the boys' real first names with surnames from their fictional "World."

Little, William J. (pseud)
Nelson, Arthur?
