The Campaign of the Jungle (Illustrated): Under Lawton through Luzon

by Edward Stratemeyer, A. B. Shute (Illustrator)

Overview

The Campaign of the Jungle is the fifth volume in the Old Glory series. While this interesting and exciting story is complete it itself so far as action and incident go, it continues the narrative of the three Russell brothers who have been met in the earlier volumes of the series, and presents vivid pictures of the experiences of American heroes under the brave and lamented General Lawton, in his Philippine-American war. While a book of stirring adventure, its moral tone is high and strong, as are all of the writings of this able author.

About the Author

Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was an American publisher and writer of books for children. He wrote 150 books himself, and created the most famous of the series books for juveniles, including the Rover Boys (1899 and after), Bobbsey Twins (1904), Tom Swift (1910), Hardy Boys (1927), and Nancy Drew (1930) series, among others. Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardised novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded in 1906, Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story. Stratemeyer's series were also innovative in that they were intended purely as entertainment, with little of the moral lessons or educational intent found in most other popular fiction of the early twentieth century. Stratemeyer's series included, besides the famous ones, many that are now forgotten except by collectors: The Motor Boys (1906), Honey Bunch (1923), The Blythe Girls (1925) and Bomba the Jungle Boy (1926).
