Dave Porter in the Far North

Excerpt from Dave Porter in the Far North: Or the Pluck of an American Schoolboy
"Dave Porter In The Far North" is a complete story in itself, but forms the fourth volume in a line issued under the general title of "Dave Porter Series."
In the first volume, entitled "Dave Porter at Oak Hall," I introduced a typical American lad, full of life and vigor, and related the particulars of his doings at an American boarding school of to-day - a place which is a little world in itself. At this school Dave made both friends and enemies, proved that he was a natural leader, and was admired accordingly.
The great cloud over Dave's life was the question of his parentage. His enemies called him "that poorhouse nobody," which hurt him deeply. He made a discovery, and in the second volume of the series, entitled "Dave Porter in the South Seas," we followed him on a most unusual voyage, at the end of which he found an uncle, and learned something of his father and sister, who were at that time traveling in Europe.
Dave was anxious to meet his own family, but could not find out just where they were.
