"Dave Porter Series, Vols 1-3," contains the first three novels in Edward Stratemeyer's "Dave Porter Series," all of which were published right around the turn of the century. Each is a complete, unabridged, version, and contain all of the original illustrations, rejuvenated.
The first book, "Dave Porter at Oak Hall," traces Dave's journey and adventures to Oak Hall, a prestigious and illustrious boarding school for boys and young men. On his own, Dave could never have afforded to attend Oak Hall. How did he manage this?
In the second novel, "Dave Porter on the South Seas," Dave joins a friend for what is supposed to be a summer vacation sailing on the high seas. But, in addition, Dave has learned there may be someone on one of the islands who can shed some light on who his parents were. The young men's adventures provide them with more action than they bargained for.
The final novel in this first set of Dave Porter books, "Dave Porter Returns to Oak Hall," finds Dave back at the boarding school, studying hard in hopes of being accepted into college, playing sports with vim and vigor, and trying to convince the school bully of the error of his ways.
Edward Stratemeyer wrote more than 1,300 books himself, selling over 500 million copies. In addition to 10 Dave Porter books, Stratemeyer wrote seven series with mostly a military nature. He also created Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Rover Boys, The Dana Boys, Bomba the Jungle Boy, and Tom Swift. He wrote under seven pen names and employed a number of ghost writers for whom he wrote plot outlines. The "Stratemeyer Syndicate" was a large organization and controlled a number of publishers.
