"Dave Porter at Oak Hall" was published by Lee and Shepard in 1905. Dave Porter is a bright and steady young man. All young people who read about him are sure to admire him from the start. In this first book in the "Dave Porter Series," we learn how, as a penniless country boy, he was sponsored through Oak Hall, a fine and prestigious college-prep school. We share his adventures, how he was hazed, was inducted into the school's secret society, how he put the school's bully in his place and his part in capturing an accomplished thief. We also learn that Dave is a fine athlete as well as a dedicated scholar.
Edward Stratemeyer wrote more than 1,300 books himself, selling over 500 million copies. In addition to 10 Dave Porter books, Stratemeyer wrote seven series with mostly a military nature. He also created Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Rover Boys, The Dana Boys, Bomba the Jungle Boy, and Tom Swift. He wrote under seven pen names and employed a number of ghost writers for whom he wrote plot outlines. The "Stratemeyer Syndicate" was a large organization and controlled a number of publishers.
