Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

About the author

James Irving Crump wrote in Og, Son of Og,

"Dan Beard ... furnished the inspiration that made me interested in writing for boys and ultimately becoming the editor of Boys' Life, in which position I served for twenty-five years."

He is most famous for his prehistoric boy series - Og, Son of Fire (1922), Og, Boy of Battle (1925), Og of the Cave People (1935) and Og, Son of Og (1965), spanning over 40 years. While most of the stories first appeared in Boys' Life, some of the Boys' Life stories never made it into the books. He also wrote an "American prehistoric" - Mog, the Mound Builder (1931), and numerous other books and articles, mainly for young people. Og, Son of Fire became a popular radio show in 1934-35.
