Whitney marked 'Unexplored' on the Government Survey Maps. The hero, with the aid of a speedy biplane, performs gallant rescues in the path of a great forest fire, and plays a vital part in capturing the incendiaries. This is a swiftly moving story which will appeal to every red-blooded boy, also the reader will gather much geological information which is interwoven with the story." - publisher's advertising blurb.
