Summary "The River Motor Boat Boys on the Columbia; Or, The Confession of a Photograph" by Harry Gordon is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a group of boys—Clayton Emmett, Cornelius Witters, and Alexander Smithwick—who embark on an exciting journey along the Columbia River, using their motorboat, the Rambler. As they set out on their voyage, they encounter various obstacles, including a broken train car and unforeseen adventures that hint at both mystery and excitement. The opening of the novel introduces the boys in a precarious situation where their motorboat is abandoned on a flat car in the Rocky Mountains after a mishap during its transport. As the story unfolds, the boys display their camaraderie and resourcefulness while waiting for a rescue. They engage in playful banter amidst the chilly wilderness, which reveals their adventurous spirit. The narrative hints at greater challenges, with references to their past expedition to the Amazon and foreshadowing a potential encounter with danger related to mysterious "train robbers." The stage is set for thrilling escapades as they aim to reach the Columbia River. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
