About the Book
The Rover Boys on the Great Lakes is the fifth volume of the Rover Boys Series for readers of all ages and is a stand-alone novel. The brother's Dick, Tom, and Sam of the rowdy Rover Boys continue their adventure in the northern United States Great Lakes region. Readers can expect the typical adventure and eventually heroic clashes with villains, such as archenemies, in addition to a number of other adventures. This series has thirty novels released between 1899 and 1926, and the books were still available decades later. Published in 1901 was The Rover Boys on the Great Lakes, or, The Secret of the Island Cave. The series frequently included cutting-edge inventions from the time, like the automobile, airplanes (in The Rover Boys in the Air), and current affairs like World War I.
Arthur M. Winfield (Edward Stratemeyer) was born on October 4, 1862, to Henry Julius Stratemeyer a tobacconist, and Anna Siegel. He was an American publisher, writer of Children's fiction, and founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. He was probably the most creative author in the world, producing over 1,300 books and selling over 500 million copies. He also created many famous fictional book series for juveniles, including The Rover boys, The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy boys, and Nancy Drew. As a teenager, Stratemeyer worked at his own printing press in the basement of his father's tobacco shop, distributing flyers and brochures to his relatives. These included stories titled The Newsboys Adventure and The Tale of a Lumberman. After graduating from high school, he worked in his father's shop. He is not even 26 in 1888 while Stratemeyer sold his first story Victor Horton's Idea, to the famous children magazine The Golden Days.
