| Abstract | A September (day illegible and year not indicated) issue of the Nelson brothers' periodical that focuses on stories of rugged pioneer life from around their imaginary world, presented in a two-column format. The cover indicates the issue was published by E.H. Nelson. This issue opens with chapter 2 of the story "Dick's Investment" by Burt Green (sometimes referred to as Birt). Dick and Mr. Knot make a trip to a trading post at Dugout several days ride away. On the way they encounter a mysterious animal during the night and make haste the next morning. They arrive safely in the city and return home without incident. The country of Chipewa is featured in the "Countries of Forest Continent" section. Chipewa is described as a forested country made up of mainly farmers and hunters. It contains the only Large Oak forest in the world and is not as developed as United Division, New Poplington or Mapleton. An editorials section covers new developments such as a gold and silver mine in Dugout and a new city near Allenstown. The issue finishes with a detailed description of the agricultural tent at the World's Fair. The tent displays many wonders including oversized produce and plants. Outside of the tent there is a large warship and a cannon big enough for a man to walk in. |
