The Helpers is a novel written by Francis Lynde and originally published in 1899. The story follows the adventures of a group of young men who work as ''helpers'' on the railroad in the American West. The main character, David Kent, is a recent college graduate who takes a job as a helper to gain experience and explore the frontier. Along the way, he and his fellow helpers encounter various challenges, including bandits, natural disasters, and conflicts with Native Americans. The novel explores themes of friendship, courage, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Throughout the story, Kent and his companions must rely on their wits and resourcefulness to overcome obstacles and protect each other. The Helpers is a thrilling and action-packed adventure that captures the spirit of the American West and the pioneering spirit of its inhabitants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
