| Summary |
"Westy Martin on the Santa Fe Trail" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a children's adventure novel, likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Westy Martin, a boy scout, who finds himself embarking on a journey filled with excitement and challenges as he travels the historic Santa Fe Trail with a film crew managed by Mr. Wilde. Joined by his fellow scout, Rip Langley, Westy is set to explore the landscape and its rich history while confronting both physical and character-based trials. At the start of the story, Westy feels a mix of annoyance and anticipation as he prepares to leave for the trip. He is hailed as a hero among his peers and is excited about being part of a film production about the old Santa Fe Trail. However, his journey takes an unexpectedly serious turn when he and Rip face a significant danger during their travels, including a potentially ominous encounter while traveling on the train. This introduction sets the stage for the subsequent challenges the boys will face, hinting at themes of bravery, friendship, and self-discovery as they navigate both the adventure ahead and their evolving relationship.
