L.P. Wyman (1873-1950) was an author of adventure novels aimed at a juvenile audience and Professor of Chemistry-and later, Dean of Faculty-at Pennsylvania Military College. Born in Skowhegan, Maine, Wyman wrote several sequences of books for young boys, including The Golden Boys, The Lakewood Boys, and The Hunniwell Boys, the latter of which is a notable contribution to the Airship or Airplane Boys subgenre of science fiction, popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

After weeks of hard work in their laboratory, the Golden brothers have finally perfected a state-of-the-art radio transmitter small enough to conceal in a coat pocket. Satisfied with themselves and looking for a break, Bob and Jack Golden retreat to their family cabin near Skowhegan, Maine, to do some fishing and exploring. After meeting a strange man in the woods, however, the Golden Boys are pulled into a criminal case involving Canadian bootleggers and local law enforcement. The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is an exciting tale of crime and adventure for children and adults alike.
