The Braden Books (as advertised in Motion Picture Boys Along the Orinoco)

1. Far Past the Frontier -- "The sub-title "Two Boy Pioneers" indicates the nature of the story -- that it has to do with the days when the Ohio Valley and the Northwest country were sparsely settled. Such a topic is an unfailing fund of interest to boys, especially when involving a couple of stalwart young men who leave the East to make their fortunes and to incur untold dangers."

2. Connecticut Boys in the Western Reserve -- "The author once more sends his heroes toward the setting sun."

3. The Trail of the Seneca -- "In which we follow the romantic careers of John Jerome and Return Kingdom a little farther. These two self-reliant boys are living peacefully in their cabin on the Cuyahoga when an Indian warrior is found dead in the woods nearby. The Seneca accuses John of witchcraft. This means death at the stake if he is captured. They decide that the Seneca's charge is made to shield himself, and set out to prove it. Mad Anthony, then on the Ohio, comes to their aid, but all their efforts prove futile and the lone cabin is found in ashes on their return."

4. Captives Three -- "A tale of frontier life, and how three children -- two boys and a girl -- attempt to reach the settlements in a canoe, but are captured by the Indians. A common enough occurance in the days of our great-grandfathers has been woven into a thrilling story."
