Excerpt from Roy Blakeley in the Haunted Camp One fine day in the merry month of August when the birds were singing in the trees and all the schools were closed and hikes and camping and ice cream cones were in season, and the chickens were congregated on the platform of the Hicksville, North Carolina, post office, something of far reaching consequence happened. On that day Joshua Hicks, postmaster-general of that thriving world centre, emerged from the post office, adjusted his octagon-shaped, steel-rimmed spectacles exactly half way down his long nose, held a certain large envelope at arm's length and contemplating it with an air of rueful perplexity said, "Well -by - gum!"

Then he cocked his head to one side, then to the other, squinted first his right eye, then his left, and at last inquired, of the chickens, apparently, "What-in-all-cre-a-tion is this?" The chickens did not answer him; on the contrary they departed from the platform, seeing, perhaps, that there was no mail for them. With the exception of two persons the chickens were the only creatures that ever waited for the mail in Hicksville.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
In 'Woodcraft Boys at Sunset Island', editors Lillian Elizabeth Roy and May Folwell Hoisington present a compelling anthology that explores the intricate dance of youth, adventure, and the timeless call of nature. This collection, steeped in the early 20th-century ethos, brings together narratives that vary widely in stylefrom the earnest and introspective to the buoyantly adventurousshowcasing the richness of outdoor experience through the eyes of its young protagonists. This anthology stands out not just for its thematic coherence but for the remarkable way it captures the spirit of an era when engagement with the natural world was both a rite of passage and a foundational aspect of character development. The contributing authors, Roy and Hoisington themselves, are not merely curators of this collection but are instrumental in shaping its thematic direction. Their works embody the principles of the Woodcraft movement, which emphasized a return to nature and the development of self-reliance and personal growth through outdoor skills and conservation ethics. This movement, reflective of broader cultural and literary undercurrents of their time, finds a resonant echo in the varied tales of adventure and self-discovery that populate this anthology. The authors' deep engagement with these themes offers readers a nuanced exploration of youth's relationship with nature, imbued with the historical and cultural contexts of the early 1900s. 'Woodcraft Boys at Sunset Island' is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of youth literature, environmental education, and historical cultural movements. The anthology provides a unique lens through which to explore the values and challenges of a bygone era, inviting readers to reflect on the continuous relevance of these themes in todays world. For educators, scholars, and enthusiasts of early 20th-century literature, this collection offers a rich tapestry of stories that not only entertain but also educate and inspire, fostering a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of nature in shaping young lives.

Excerpt from Roy Blakeley's Adventures in Camp Maybe you fellows will remember about how I Was telling you that our troop had a house-boat that was loaned to us for the summer, by a man that lives out our way. He said we could fix it up and use it to go to Temple Camp in. It was a peach of a boat and took the hills fine - that's what: We said just to jolly Pee-wee Harris, who is in our troop. He's awfully easy to jolly, but he doesn't stay mad long, that's one good thing about him. But one trouble, that boat didn't have any power, and it wouldn't even drift right on account of being almost square. Westy Martin said it was on the square, all right. He's a crazy kid, that fellow is. Anyway, the boat didn't have any power. Our scoutmaster, Mr. Ellsworth, said it didn't even have any will power. We couldn't even pole it.
