| Summary |
"The Saddle Boys in the Grand Canyon; or, The Hermit of the Cave" by Captain James Carson is a boys' adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows two young protagonists, Frank Haywood and Bob Archer, as they embark on an exciting journey that takes them to the Grand Canyon, where they aim to confront a notorious wolf tormenting local ranchers and seek to uncover the whereabouts of Frank's mysterious Uncle Felix. With themes of exploration, bravery, and camaraderie, the narrative promises thrilling escapades in the rugged wilderness. The opening of the book introduces us to the main characters, Frank and Bob, who are riding across the open plains and discussing a series of livestock attacks linked to a cunning she-wolf named Sallie. As they investigate the recent killing of a yearling, they resolve to track down the wolf and her den with the help of an experienced cowman, Hank Coombs. The boys are determined and spirited, eager to face any challenge that comes their way. Their encounter with the wolf den sets the stage for further adventures and introduces readers to the wild and perilous environment of the Old West, filled with unexpected threats and opportunities for heroism.
