Another Hardy Boys book upload for you to enjoy. It's the UK version of The Haunted Fort, in which our chums head out Chet's uncle's place in Cedartown, in order to track down the legendary treasure of Fort Senandaga, a revolutionary war era fort on the lake.
It's not a bad tale either, Chet's uncle runs an art school and of course, Chet's hobby, this time is painting, which he has some flair for. There is a vague supernatural element as there is a lake monster (fake though) in the lake set up as an elaborate prank to harass local art critic Chanucey Gilman (rendered as Oilman in the file I had).
The other players in this are an old English hermit living on one of the lake islands who claims that the redcoats are the last to leave the fort, whereas a Frenchman, Rene Follette claims that the French forces were the last to leave the fort. Add in Mr. Davenport, eccentric owner of the fort and art thief Alan Copler (rendered as copier in the text file I have.) and you have quite the good story.
The story itself centers around a clue in a picture painted by the mysterious prisoner painter, interred in the fort around the time of the revolutionary war of 1776. There is a clue to a fabulous treasure in one of the paintings, one of which is housed in the Bayport museum and is of course stolen by Copler, in the course of the adventure.
