The King of Arcadia (1909)
"A really good and well-written mystery story that will keep the reader excited to the end."—New York Sun.
"A romance of Western life brimful of adventure and human interest."—San Francisco Chronicle.
"Not often does one come upon a romance so thoroughly good and skilfully written."—Brooklyn Eagle.
Stranded in Arcady (1917)
A story of love and adventure in the Canadian wilderness.
Branded (1917)
Mr. Lynde never wrote a more exciting story than this, which presents the rough life of labor camps and gold-fields, in recounting the hero's finally successful fight for vindication after he had been unjustly arrested, tried, and imprisoned.
The Price (1911)
Tells of the commission of a Robin Hood kind of a crime in true Robin Hood style--robbing the rich for the poor; of the escape of the criminal--hero of this novel; of his many adventures with the police; of his ultimate salvation both from the police and from a career of wickedness by one of the most charming and original girls of contemporary fiction.
A Fool For Love (1905)
An exciting duel between a railway monarch who is celebrated as a hard fighter, and a young civil engineer, over a strip of track that means the right of way for two competing lines, forms the theme of this novel. The love comes into the story by means of a pretty girl, niece of the railroad magnate, who is divided in her mind between loyalty to her relative and a strong fancy for the young engineer. The story abounds in incident and is brightly and pleasantly told.
The Quickening (1906)
Scene is laid in the iron and coal region of Tennessee. The leading character grapples with problems both religious and financial and achieves success and happiness.
Empire Builders (1907)
Stirring tale of the financing and building of a Rocky mountain railroad through the grit, foresight, and push of its young chief engineer.
The Grafters (1906)
If Mr. Lynde sometimes falters in his lovemaking and sometimes seems to fail to understand women, he never fails in the delineation of the characters of his men. They are not gods or demigods; they are not even heroes; they are men fighting for what they want, not caring a jot whether their actions or their motives are ethically right or wrong so long as in the end it brings to them what all true Americans worship--money.
The Taming of Red Butte Western (1910)
The Red Butte Western is a railroad in the Southwest. When the owners decide to do away with the long prevailing lawless conditions on the road they choose a young engineer to go out there and do the "taming." Having failed hopelessly on one memorable occasion to display any manly courage, he believes himself to be a physical coward and consequently wholly unfit for the task. He confesses this feeling to the vice-president of the road, but this fails to shake the official's confidence in the young man. He has a hard struggle against lawlessness, strikes, collisions, wrecks and bloodshed, but wins out and proves beyond a doubt that he is possessed of no small amount of physical and moral courage.
