Description

In The Dreadnought Boys in Home Waters by John Henry Goldfrap, Ned Strong and Herc Taylor take command of the gunboat Seneca during naval war games. From a tense train journey to clashes with rivals like Midshipman Kenworth, they face conflict and intrigue. As exercises intensify, the boys must prove leadership, courage, and skill in a test of loyalty and seamanship.

Author

John Henry Goldfrap (1879–1917) was an English-born journalist who became one of the most prolific storytellers of America's early twentieth-century boys' book boom. His serial adventures captured a generation's hunger for courage, gadgetry, and the open road — wireless operators at sea, cadets aboard dreadnoughts, scouts on the range, motor rangers crossing the Sierras.
