The various adventures which have befallenBob Somers and his fellow members of theclub which the boys formed at Kingswood,Wisconsin, are related in “The Rambler ClubAfloat,” “The Rambler Club’s Winter Camp,”“The Rambler Club in the Mountains,” “TheRambler Club on Circle T Ranch,” “TheRambler Club among the Lumberjacks,” “TheRambler Club’s Gold Mine,” “The RamblerClub’s Aeroplane” and “The Rambler Club’sHouse-Boat.”

Bob Somers, Dave Brandon and Tom Clifton,three members of the club, have reachedChicago, homeward bound after a trip up theHudson. The characters of the boys are widelydifferent. Bob Somers is strong and athletic,while stout Dave Brandon, inclined to takehis ease on all possible occasions, can be remarkablyactive when circumstances demand.Tom Clifton, a trifle self-conscious, and sometimesallowing his enthusiasm to carry himaway, is really not so vain as many think.

[4]Dave Brandon, poet and historian of theclub, who is chronicling the various incidentsand adventures that befall them, feels thattheir present motor car trip will add but littleto his book. A series of unlooked-for events,however, quite reverse this idea.

In the next book, “The Rambler Club’sBall Nine,” is told the story of certain incidentsat the Kingswood high school. Severalof the best players have graduated, and intheir attempts to reorganize the team theRamblers find themselves involved in a stormyand exciting struggle.
