Edward L. Stratemeyer (October 4, 1862 - May 10, 1930) was an American publisher and writer of children's fiction. He was one of the most prolific writers in the world, producing in excess of 1,300 books himself, selling in excess of 500 million copies. He also created many well-known fictional book series for juveniles, including The Rover Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew series, many of which sold millions of copies and are still in publication today. On Stratemeyer's legacy, Fortune wrote: "As oil had its Rockefeller, literature had its Stratemeyer."

“I say, Dave, here's an odd piece of news.”“An odd piece of news, Roger? What about?”“A wild man in the woods back of Oak Hall,” answered Roger Morr, who held a letter in his hand. “Queerest thing you ever heard of.”“I should say it was, if it's about a wild man,” returned Dave Porter. “Who sent that letter?”“Shadow Hamilton.”“Maybe it's another one of Shadow's innumerable yarns,” suggested Dave, with a faint smile. “If he can't tell them by word of mouth, he writes them down.”“What has Shadow got to say about the wild man?” asked Phil Lawrence, looking up from the suit-case he was packing. “Has he been trying to clean out Oak Hall, or anything like that?” “No, not exactly,” returned Roger, turning back to the letter, which he had not yet finished. “He keeps in the woods, so Shadow says, and scares everybody who comes that way.”“How does he scare them?” asked Dave, pausing in the act of stowing a suit of clothing in a trunk.

He wears long hair and a long beard, and his clothes are in tatters.”“What did they do?” questioned Phil.

Edward Stratemeyer's 'The Putnam Hall Rebellion; or, The Rival Runaways' is a classic novel that follows the adventures of a group of boys at an all-boys boarding school. The book is written in a straightforward and engaging style, typical of early 20th-century children's literature. Set in a literary context where coming-of-age stories were popular, Stratemeyer's work stands out for its lively storytelling and relatable characters. The plot revolves around a rivalry between two groups of boys, leading to a series of pranks and misadventures that test their friendships and loyalties. Edward Stratemeyer, a prolific writer known for creating popular series such as the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, drew on his own experiences and observations of young people to write 'The Putnam Hall Rebellion'. His understanding of the dynamics of adolescent relationships and the challenges of growing up shines through in this novel. Stratemeyer's expert storytelling and ability to connect with his young audience make this book a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. I recommend 'The Putnam Hall Rebellion; or, The Rival Runaways' to anyone looking for a nostalgic and charming read that captures the spirit of youth and friendship. Stratemeyer's storytelling prowess and the timeless themes explored in the novel make it a delightful choice for readers of classic children's literature.
