Dave Porter In The Gold Fields is an engrossing story about a popular and daring hero. This is one of those spell-binders that the author knows how to write, luring the reader on from one exciting incident to another without cessation. Here, the famous young adventurer tries to hunt up a Montana gold mine that had been lost in a landslide, the mine having been willed to the mother of one of Dave's chums. Dave gets up the expedition, and they go to the Rockies where enough attempts are made to wreck the expedition to discourage the average boy. But not so this young globe-trotter, who does not know the meaning of fear, whether driving a skidding automobile in thunder and lightning storm or shooting a mountain lion. There are some nice girls in the story too, which shows that Dave is growing-up. The dialogue is capital, with enough up-to-date slang to show that the boys are alive to everything modern (The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer, September 15, 1914)
