| Summary | "Boys of The Fort; Or, A Young Captain's Pluck" by Edward Stratemeyer is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This story encapsulates the journey and experiences of two young cousins, Joe Moore and Darry Germain, as they travel to Fort Carson in the American West to visit Joe's brother, Captain Moore. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and adventures, including the threat of desperadoes, natural dangers, and encounters with wildlife, all while highlighting the camaraderie of military life. The opening portion of the novel introduces Joe and Darry as they ride through the Rocky Mountains with their guide, the old scout Sam Benson. Their journey is filled with anticipation of reaching the fort, but they are soon caught in a storm, leading them to take refuge in a cave. The atmosphere quickly shifts as Joe overhears a conversation between a gang of outlaws planning to attack the fort, creating tension and danger right from the start. Their adventure escalates as they navigate the wilderness while trying to avoid these menaces and ultimately shift towards thrilling encounters, including bears and other perils as they aim to reach safety and their destination.
