About This Item
by Troy Nesbit (Author) & Paul Frame (Illustrator)Publisher: Whitman Publishing Company (1964)A Troy Nesbit MysteryHardcover: 282 pagesDimensions: 7.4 x 5.6 x 1.2 inches
Franklin Folsom was a prolific author who wrote dozens of books during his career, most of them nonfiction books dealing with historical events. Folsom wrote a set of six children's books for the Whitman Publishing Company using the pen name Troy Nesbit. The set of books was marketed as the Troy Nesbit Mystery series. Folsom also wrote Fury and the Mystery at Trappers' Hole and Wagon Train for Whitman.Harvey House reprinted the six Troy Nesbit Mystery books in the early 1960s as the Wilderness Mystery series. The Harvey House books reproduce the page layout of the Whitman books, so the pages in the Whitman and Harvey House editions match up exactly with the same text on corresponding pages. The Harvey House books were slightly revised, and the revisions can be easily spotted since the text is lighter, not matching the rest of the text.
Unfortunately, Harvey House did not use Whitman's original illustrations, instead opting for new illustrations that were vastly inferior. Most of the Harvey House books have excellent quality paper that has not yellowed.The Harvey House books credit the author as Franklin Folsom. Each book has a notice on the copyright page stating that the book was previously published in a popular edition by Troy Nesbit.
Harvey House also included another Folsom book, The Hidden Ruin, in the set.
In 2013, the original six Troy Nesbit Mystery books were reprinted by Taylor Trade Publishing. These books once again credit the author as Troy Nesbit but refer to the set as the Wilderness Mystery series. The books are copyright 2013 by The Folsom Family Trust.
The Taylor Trade books are faithful reproductions of the insides of the Whitman books, including the excellent original Whitman illustrations. The books have good quality paper, so readers turned off by books with yellowed paper can opt for new books on white paper.
Folsom also wrote another book, Search in the Desert, that meshes well with the Wilderness Mystery series. Search in the Desert was published by Funk & Wagnalls in 1955.
