Book Description
Excerpt from Roy Blakeley's Camp on Wheels The second night after we were all home I started around to the church to troop meeting and I met Pee-wee Harris coming scout pace down through Terrace Street. He's one Of the raving Ravens. He was all dolled up like a Christmas tree, with his belt axe hanging to his belt and his scout knife dangling around his neck and his com pass on his wrist like a wrist watch.

Book Description
Roy Blakeley's Camp on Wheels by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is about the adventures of Roy Blakeley and other Boy Scouts as they ride a misplaced railroad car. Excerpt: "Maybe you think just because scouts go camping in the summertime, and take hikes and all that, that there's nothing to do in the winter. But I'm always going to stick up for winter, that's one sure thing. Anyway, this story isn't exactly a winter story, it's a kind of a fall story—lightweight. Maybe after this, I'll write a heavyweight winter story. Dorry Benton (he's in my patrol) says that if this story should run into the winter, I can use heavier paper for the last part of it."

Book Description
This is the story of the wild and roaming career of a ramshackle old railroad car which has been given Roy and his companions for a troop meeting place. The boys, who have spent a hard day cleaning and repairing the car, fall asleep in it. In the darkness of the night, and by a singular error of the railroad people, the car is "taken up" by a freight train and instead of being left at a designated point several miles below, is carried westward, so that when the boys awake in the morning they find themselves in a country altogether strange and new. The story tells of the many and exciting adventures in this car as it journeys from place to place.

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.
