The Candidate (1905)
In this political novel the hero, who is a presidential candidate, is accompanied by his niece on a speech making tour through the West. A newspaper correspondent, also in attendance, loves the girl and is largely responsible for the triumph of the candidate. The path of love is not smooth however, for the girl is the betrothed of a distinguished politician, whose enmity her uncle has no wish to incur.

French and Indian War Series-
The Hunters of the Hills (1916)
"The Hunters of the Hills" is the first volume of a series dealing with the great struggle of France and England and their colonies for dominion in North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is also concerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the mighty league known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of which both French and English were high bidders. In his treatment of the theme the author has consulted many authorities, and he is not conscious of any historical error.

The Shadow of the North (1917)
"The Shadow of the North," while an independent story, in itself, is also the second volume of the Great French and Indian War series which began with "The Hunters of the Hills." All the important characters of the first romance reappear in the second.

The Rulers of the Lakes (1917)
Young Robert Lennox and his friend Tayoga, an Onondaga Indian, undertake to make a dangerous journey through the northern wilderness to warn the garrison and settlers gathered at Fort Refuge of the hostile forces. Afterwards they join the army as scouts, preceding it on an expedition to Lake George and Lake Champlain, where they engage in many fierce encounters. The story concludes with the battle of Lake George, in which the Colonists win their first great success of the war.The story takes place almost wholly in the wilderness, and gives a picture of Iroquois life and warfare, historically true. The description of life in the wilderness, of the intrigue and cunning necessary in dealing with the French and Indians, of repeated encounters where ultimate success depends on quick wit and wily cleverness, makes fascinating reading for boys and girls.

The Lords of the Wild (1919)
"The Lords of the Wild" tells a complete story, but it is also a part of the French and Indian War Series, of which the predecessors were "The Hunters of the Hills," "The Shadow of the North," "The Rulers of the Lakes" and "The Masters of the Peaks." Robert Lennox, Tayoga, Willet, St. Luc, Tandakora and all the principal characters of the earlier volumes reappear.

The Sun of Quebec (1919)
The sixth and closing volume of the French and Indian War Series -- important characters in the earlier books reappear, and the mystery in the life of Robert Lennox, the central figure in all the romances, is solved.

The Young Trailers (1907)
A tale of a boy's life in the days of the early settlement of Kentucky, of hunting and fishing in the wilderness, of capture by the Indians and final release. More than ordinarily well told and faithful in spirit and description to the conditions and times.

The Keepers of The Trail (1916)
"The Keepers of The Trail" deals with an episode, hitherto unrelated, in the lives of Henry Ware, Paul Cotter, Shif'less Sol Hyde, Long Jim Hart, and Silent Tom Ross. In point of time it follows "The Forest Runners," and, so, is the third volume of the "Young Trailer" series.

The Free Rangers (1909)
The adventures of the five young woodsmen who have previously appeared in "The young trailers" and "The forest rangers," in helping the settlers against the Indians and the Spaniards.

The Riflemen of the Ohio (1910)
Further adventures of the hero of "The young trailers" and his friends. Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, and Girty, the renegade, appear in the story.

The Scouts of the Valley (1911)
The Wyoming valley massacre and the battle of the Chemung furnish more fighting and more adventures for the hero of "The young trailers."
