Also published under the title ‘Sam Steele’s Adventures on Land and Sea’, ‘The
Boy Fortune Hunters in Alaska’ is the first story in L. Frank Baum’s popular
‘Boy Fortune Hunter’ series. Sixteen-year-old Sam Steele finds himself
orphaned following the reported shipwreck of his father’s ship. Cheated out of
his inheritance, Sam sets sail with his uncle, the sea captain Naboth Perkins
to provide provisions to miners in Alaska. When the pair are shipwrecked on a
remote island in a storm they must contend with treasure, thieves, and the
might of mother nature before they find their way home. A gripping adventure
story from the popular ‘Oz’ author. Lyman Frank Baum (1856 – 1919) was a
prolific and well-known American writer. He is best known for his famous
series of modern fairy tales set in the imaginary land of Oz. The first of the
books, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ is widely considered to be the first true
American fairy tale and was the basis for the hugely popular 1939 classic
musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’ starring Judy Garland. Born and raised in New York,
Baum held a range of jobs including as a poultry farmer, clerk, and
storekeeper before pursuing his talent for writing at the age of 41. He wrote
14 novels in the Oz series, as well as over 40 other novels and over 80 short
stories. He died in California in 1919.
