Roy Blakeley's Camp on Wheels by Percy Keese Fitzhugh
"Roy Blakeley's Camp on Wheels" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel aimed at young readers, likely written in the early 20th century. This adventurous story centers around Roy Blakeley and his fellow Boy Scouts as they navigate the challenges presented by their unconventional headquarters, a railroad car, that they hope will serve as their troop's meeting place. The book combines humor and the themes of friendship, resourcefulness, and the spirit of
scouting. The opening of the book introduces readers to Brewster's Centre, a fictional location that serves as the backdrop for the Scouts' adventures. Roy humorously reflects on the quirks of winter camping, setting the tone for his lighthearted narrative. He recounts the peculiarities surrounding their troop room's relocation, sparked by the need for more space by the church, leading to the introduction of the old passenger car as their temporary base. As the boys eagerly anticipate their new headquarters, the stage is set for a wealth of misadventures that highlight their camaraderie and youthful exuberance.
