The Putnam Hall Encampment

This story is complete in itself but forms the fifth volume in a line issued under the general title of Putnam Hall Series.As I have mentioned several times, this series was started at the solicitation of those who had read some of my Rover Boys books and who wanted to know something about what took place at Putnam Hall military academy before the Rovers went there.In my first volume, called, The Putnam Hall Cadets, I told how Captain Putnam happened to organize that famous school, and how Jack Ruddy and Pepper Ditmore came to be among his first pupils. The boys made a host of friends and also some enemies, and proved their worth on more than one occasion.In the second volume, The Putnam Hall Rivals, I related the outcome of several contests on the field of sports, and also gave the particulars of a thrilling balloon ride and of a strange discovery in the woods. Then came The Putnam Hall Champions, with more contests, in one of which Jack Ruddy's enemies played him a foul trick.
