"Tom Swift and His Great Searchlight; or, on the border for Uncle Sam" is a captivating adventure in the Tom Swift series by Victor Appleton. In this story, Tom Swift, the young inventor, is faced with a new challenge: helping to protect the United States border during a time of heightened security concerns. Tom develops a powerful searchlight, a technological marvel capable of illuminating vast distances with intense brightness. The novel follows Tom and his friends as they embark on a mission to deploy the searchlight along the border. Their journey is fraught with danger and intrigue, as they encounter smugglers, outlaws, and other nefarious characters attempting to cross the border under the cover of darkness. The searchlight proves to be an invaluable tool in their efforts to safeguard the nation, showcasing Tom's ingenuity and patriotism. Appleton weaves a story that combines elements of adventure, science, and patriotism, against the backdrop of early 20th-century American history. The novel not only entertains but also reflects on the role of technology in national security and the importance of innovation in serving the greater good.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
