Abstract | Describing a hard-fought battle between East Siders and West Siders, "The Fight of the Boys" was written and illustrated, in color, by Arthur Nelson. The cover does not mention Arthur Nelson by name, but advertises that this work was written by the author of "The Mountain Fighter," a story signed by Arthur Nelson. The battle described in "The Fight of the Boys" was fought with "clubs, canons, wooden spears, wooden sords [sic], and bow guns." In addition to the heavy fighting, some prisoners are taken who later escape from the jail with help from the outside. |
