Harper's Young People is an illustrated weekly publication for children that includes short stories, tales from history, natural history, poetry, puzzles, and other fun. This 40th issue of the serial was published on August 3rd, 1880. In this issue, 'The Moral Pirates' enter the Erie Canal and carefully pass the Whitewing through and trudge it around the canal's many locks; two American settler children are taken by Canadian Indians and live with them through one winter before they attempt a dangerous escape in the third part of 'Old Times in the Colonies'; and a boy visits Colorado's Rocky Mountains, decides to become a prospector, and purchases his own 'silver' mine for ten dollars in 'Tom Chester's Silver Mine'. Other highlights of this issue include accounts from India of feral children raised by wolves in 'Wolf-Children'; 'The Ship of the Desert', where we learn all about camels and their special adaptations that specially suit them to labor in the desert; and, the fourth part of 'The Story of the American Navy' which describes the dramatic back and forth of the battles in the Mediterranean in the war against Tripoli. This periodical was published by Harper & Brothers, known today for their publications Harper's Bazaar and Harper's Magazine. - Summary by Jill Engle
