About this listen
Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea is a juvenile adventure novel written by L. Frank Baum, and published in 1906 under the pseudonym "Capt. Hugh Fitzgerald." The book was reprinted two years later in 1908 with the alternative title The Boy Fortune Hunters in Alaska. It was the first novel in a series of slice-of-life, non-fantasy adventure novels in the boy's YA genre.
Sam Steele, 16-years-old, is the son of a sea captain. His father is reported killed in a shipwreck, and Sam is quickly cheated of his inheritance. Now an orphan, Sam meets his maternal uncle, Naboth Perkins, another sea captain and ship-owner. Together, the two set sail in the Pacific to make money at the shipping trade.
From San Francisco, Sam and his uncle embark on the Flipper, carrying provisions north to the miners of the Alaska gold rush. This is the story of their adventures trying to be provisioners to the miners of the Yukon.
