title: Tom Slade, Boy Scout: Adventures of the Bridgeboro Scouts (Volume 1)
author: Percey Keese Fitzhugh
description: When the Tom Slade series was published (1915-1930), its popularity was second only to Tom Swift (1910-1941). The reputation was deserved.... in the Tom Slades, one finds virtue, poverty, injustice, and the overcoming of great evil. These Scout stories are close to nature and realistic, and in many ways still timely. --David M. Baumann, <i>The Mystery and Adventure Series Review</i> #33, Spring 2000
