The Rover Boys Under Canvas, published in 1919 under Edward Stratemeyer's pen name Arthur M. Winfield, belongs to the second Rover Boys series, which follows the sons of the original Rover brothers at Colby Hall, a military academy. The book opens with a baseball game and a run of explosions at a nearby ammunition factory, then takes the cadets on their summer encampment, where drills, rifle practice, pranks and visits from girl friends alternate with strange noises in the night and the mystery of a wrecked submarine. The story reflects the military enthusiasm of the years around the First World War, told in the brisk, lighthearted style of the series. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
