The Moving Picture Boys series captures the excitement of early cinema through nine adventure novels. The boys travel from the jungle to the coast to earthquake country to the war front, filming everything they encounter. The series runs from 1913 to 1919, coinciding with the actual explosive growth of the movie industry.
The books combine adventure fiction with the novelty of motion picture technology, giving young readers of the 1910s heroes who used cameras instead of guns.
