Summary

"Boy Scouts in the Northwest; Or, Fighting Forest Fires" by G. Harvey Ralphson is an early 20th-century adventure tale about a group of Boy Scouts venturing into the Northwest, facing disappearances and forest fires possibly caused by shady characters. Led by Ned Nestor, who has a background in secret government work, scouts like Jack Bosworth, Pat Mack, and Frank Shaw show teamwork to explore the wilderness. After setting up camp on a mountain plateau, they notice smoke and strange footprints, hinting that they aren't alone. The boys investigate a mysterious cave and sense the presence of danger, which sets the scene for action ahead where their scouting skills and courage are tested as they explore the secrets hidden in the Northwest.
