Fairview Boys Afloat and Ashore is the first book in the Fairview Boys Series. Published in 1912, it is about the Fairview boys' summer-vacation adventures. They get permission to take out the boat of one of the boys' older brothers. Unfortunately, a violent storm comes up. The boat is wrecked on the rocks of Pine Island, and the boys are stuck. The book is worth reading for no other reason than to see how they attempt to get off the island and return to Fairview.
Frederick Gordon was one of many pseudonyms used by Edward Stratemeyer as part of his Stratemeyer Syndicate. 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.
