Summary "On the Edge of the Arctic; Or, An Aeroplane in Snowland" by H. L. Sayler is a juvenile adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two Canadian boys, Norman Grant and Roy Moulton, who exhibit their aeroplane, the "Gitchie Manitou"," during Calgary's Stampede celebration. They are passionate about aviation and eager for adventure, intending to showcase their machine's capabilities in the Arctic wilderness. The opening of the novel introduces the main characters and sets the stage for their adventure. Norman and Roy, having crafted their aeroplane with the help of their fathers, are excitedly preparing to participate in the Stampede, where they plan to demonstrate their invention. Along the way, they meet Count Paul Zept, a wealthy young man new to Calgary, who expresses a keen interest in joining their expedition into the wilderness. The early chapters highlight the unique blend of excitement and challenges that the boys face as they set out to prove the worth of their aeroplane while encountering various characters from the frontier. Their journey promises to reveal the romance of the Northwest while testing their ingenuity and bravery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
