THE JACK SERIES 
Best Books For Boys 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
T HE solution of the parents’ problem of providing for the growing boy reading at once healthy and 
satisfying to his craving for action and adventure. In the Jack Books the longing of the normal boy 
for Western stories is gratified, the interest is absorbed and the mind is unconsciously led to phases 
of life that are elev iting and instructive. 
The books are the story of a young New York lad, sent to Stillwater ranch in the Rockies for his health, 
who becomes the companion of a veteran of the frontier. For each of six succeeding years he is led through 
new territory and experiences, accumulating much of the lore of plain and mountain, enriched with tales of 
the old West. 
Ranch life, travel and hunting on the lonely plains, Indian camps, mountain 
climbing, trapping and canoeing are described. There is not a dull page, and the 
author manages to put much of the spirit of the West into his books. Jack is a 
real boy, and the books are stories for live boys—not lectures in disguise.
