Young Adult Patchin, Frank Gee: The Pony Rider Boys In Texas. v1, 29 Aug 2008

[Dr. Drib]

Hello boys and girls at MobileRead. Today we have another novel about the four chums and Professor Zepplin.

In the author's own imortal words, right in the middle of the story, he writes:

"As for the freckle-faced boy and his companion, the reader no doubt has recognized in them our old friends, Tad Butler and Ned Rector, the Pony Rider Boys. After their exciting experiences in the Rockies, and their discovery of the Lost Claim, which gave each of the boys a little fortune of his own, as narrated in the preceding volume, "The Pony Rider Boys in the Rockies," the Pony Riders had turned toward Texas as the scene of their next journeying. With Walter Perkins and Stacy Brown, the boys, under the guidance of Professor Zepplin, were to join a cattle outfit at San Diego, whence they were to travel northward with it."

No wonder Thomas Pynchon created his own chums and lads for his current novel.

Well, I know you're anxious to read this, so I'll jest dust off the dirt from my britches and mosey on down the road and get a nice, strong Cappuchino.

I hope you enjoy it.
