The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
A golden-red collie named Mars plays an important part in this exciting story which has for its setting the Ramapo Mountains of northern New Jersey. The story opens with an outbreak of hostilities between the Jackson Whites (an inbred race of mountain folk) led by the giant, Tully Bemis, terror of the hills, and the peaceful folk of the valley.
A treasure chest which dates back to Revolutionary times is thought to be hidden somewhere in the hills. Tully Bemis long has searched for it in vain, and when he becomes suspicious that young Bruce Harden, a valley farmer, and his geologist friend are on the track of the lost treasure he takes desperate action.
The real hero of the story, however, is Mars who at the command of his master performs one of the most amazing feats that ever a collie has been called upon to do. Mars takes his place among those other great Terhune collie heroes, Lad, Bruce, Gray Dawn, Bobby, Treve, Wolf, Thane, Morven, Sandstorm and Buff.
