I went to the page last night to get them. The page was down and said to check back later. It was back up today. I was able to download 49 books. I guess the other 3 were removed?

I only found 49 too. Perhaps there was a problem with the page and the other 3 just haven't been re-uploaded yet.

Well I am grateful they are not part of a series!

the page looks different from when i downloaded it...b4 it listed a few things and then gave me the option of pdf or epub, then a list of each series/section, then each book.

i see now the site even mentions calibre and it didn't before...nice plug though.

This is what I got in my downloads if it helps(note I had to do it one by one )

Hello,

Sorry for causing such confusion. I recently discovered another novel and six more stories by Mr. Altsheler, and I decided to remove "Altsheler's Stories" from the free books. I might put it back some day in the future when I reach the point where I think I have collected all of the stories which can be collected. Meanwhile, it will be available on the internet. I will update it with the new stories as I complete their acquisition and editing.

I also merged "Altsheler Miscellany" into "Altsheler's Stories," and that will probably be a permanent thing.

Finally, I removed "The Golden Leaf" from the free books. This was an unpublished manuscript by Mr. Altsheler which I edited (with numerous necessary changes) and published this year (2013). I will probably sell it for a while. I will probably also sell the next novel (currently not available anywhere on the internet) for a while.

In summary, the current number of titles available free is 49. Two titles which were free are now for sale on the internet. One title has been merged into another ebook (and is available on the internet inside "Altsheler's Stories."

I will email a free copy of "The Golden Leaf" to anyone who requests one before January 1, 2014. Send your request to altsheler at woodwardworks dot com (anti-spam address; you need to fix it). I hope that makes up a little for the confusion I caused.

"The Golden Leaf," a posthumously published novel of Mr. Altsheler, is now a free ebook.

"Altshelers's Stories," a collection of 38 short stories, 2 articles, and some miscellany, has also been make available as a free ebook.

There will soon be 90 of Mr. Altsheler's titles available free at altsheler.woodwardworks.com (30 novels from six series, 20 novels not in any series, 38 short stories, and 2 articles from newspapers/magazines).

The list will continue to grow. Another novel and 6 short stories will soon be available. I plan to make then free as well.

The website is down while I create some collections (multiple books inside a single ebook). There will be a collection for each of Mr. Altsheler's six series, another collection containing all six series in a single book, and a collection of all the non-series books. It will take a significant number of hours on my computer to generate these collections, but I hope to have the website back up within the next day or so (say, before 12/29/2013).

These books represent everything I have been able to find so far of titles authored by Mr. Altsheler. I hope you get as much enjoyment from them as I have. I first read "The Young Trailers Series" in 1950, and I generally reread them every ten years or so.

Please pass the word about the free books at altsheler.woodwardworks.com

[altsheler]

There are now EPUB, MOBI (older Kindles), and AZW3 (newer Kindles) ebooks available free at altsheler.woodwardworks.com

91 works of Altsheler (Series, stand alone novels, short stories, articles) and 3 miscellaneous titles.

There is another novel being edited now. Also, 5 more short stories will be published soon. All will be free of charge in EPUB, MOBI, and AZW3.

Later on, I might be offering PDF versions (also free) of the above ebooks.

Thanks.
