Buffalo Roost: A Story of a Young Men's Christian Association Boys' Department

A band of young association members sets out to build a permanent mountain cabin as a boys' camp, with a brave youth emerging as an informal leader. The story traces their planning, a stormy rail and stage-road journey, wilderness camping and labor, and the discovery of a mine, with accidents and unexpected turns that test their courage and resourcefulness. Alongside practical campcraft and teamwork, older mentors offer guidance, and episodes emphasize cooperation, character development, leadership, and moral instruction in an outdoor-adventure framework.
