Biff Brewster, sixteen, is a tall, strongly built blond youth who lives In Indianapolis, Indiana, with his parents and the eleven-year-old twins, Ted and Monica. Because his mother and father believe that travel is as important to education as formal schooling, Biff is encouraged to travel to various countries during the vacation months. His experiences in these lands, and the young people he meets there, form the basis of a new series for adventure-loving readers. In every journey there is a strong element of mystery, usually a direct result of conditions peculiar to the region in which he is traveling. • Brazilian Gold Mine Mystery• Mystery of the Chinese Ring• Hawaiian Sea Hunt Mystery• Mystery of the Ambush in IndiaAndy Adams (1859-1935) was a successful American writer of Western stories and young reader mysteries. Raised by pioneer parents, Adams lived in several western states during the closing days of the frontier, where he worked as a cowhand in Texas and a gold miner in Colorado. His partly fictional LOG OF COWBOY is considered one of the best accounts of cowboy life told from a first-hand perspective.

"The most authentic account of cowboy life ever written, this compelling narrative traces the events of an 1882 cattle drive, during which 3,000 longhorns traversed the Great Western Cattle Trail from Brownsville, Texas, to the Blackfoot Indian Reservation in Montana. The author, real-life cowboy Andy Adams (1859–1935), worked as a prospector as well as a cattle driver on the Western trails. Although *The Log of a Cowboy* crackles with the energy and excitement of fiction, it is based on Adams' own experiences. *The Chicago Herald* noted, ""As a narrative of cowboy life, Andy Adams' book is clearly the real thing. It carries its own certificate of authentic firsthand experience on every page."" Fascinating details of day-to-day life on the trail emerge as a team of a dozen cowhands — accompanied by a cook, horse wrangler, and foreman — set out on the long trek. Days are marked by dangerous river crossings and buffalo stampedes as well as encounters with Indians and cattle thieves. Evenings find the crew exchanging tall tales around the campfire and occasionally hunkered down at cowtown saloons. Originally published in 1903 to refute popular but unrealistic tales of the Old West, this classic adventure story remains a remarkable historical resource and portrait of American frontier life."
