Summary "The Moving Picture Boys and the Flood; Or, Perilous Days on the Mississippi" by Victor Appleton is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young protagonists, Joe Duncan and Blake Stewart, who are moving picture operators navigating the challenges brought about by a disastrous flood on the Mississippi River. As they seek to capture the dramatic unfolding events with their cameras, they also face the urgency of rescuing friends who are reported missing. The beginning of the book introduces Joe and Blake enjoying a peaceful vacation when they learn about the catastrophic flood through a newspaper. Their initial relaxation is abruptly shaken as they decide to document the flood with their moving pictures, prompted by exciting news reports of destruction and heroism. Soon, they receive a long-distance call that indicates their associates are missing, driving them to abandon their leisure plans and rush to assist in rescue efforts, showcasing their dedication and adventurous spirit right from the outset.
