About the Author:
In 1904, Archer Wallace , a young Methodist minister arrived in the city of Boswarlos in Newfoundland. The people of the area enjoyed his ability to relate to youth and inspire them. Ryerson Press said of him , "Archer Wallace is a boys' man the boy in him will never die." Boys gather round him at a football match or hockey game or Sunday School. Many boys write to him... with rare insight he is able to understand them... (His books) have proved an inspiration to boys the world over. In the 1930s, Wallace returned to Boswarlos and built a cabin in which he continued to write his books for boys. His books recorded true stories of boys who conquered their handicaps and worked their way to fame, achievement, and triumph. Another publisher noted that Wallace ;never preaches but tells the story he has to tell in such a way that boys, big and little, understand and realize the message it has for them.
