Summary "Tom Slade on the River" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book primarily focuses on the adventures of Tom Slade, a young boy scout, as he navigates the challenges of camp life and engages in various escapades with his friends. The story captures themes of friendship, bravery, and the spirit of scouting while highlighting the camaraderie among the scouts. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage for the arrival of the Bridgeboro Troop at Temple Camp, where young Raymond Hollister is anxiously waiting for his friends, particularly his patrol leader Garry Everson. During this time, Raymond reflects on his previous winter spent with Jeb Rushmore, with the enthusiasm of summer adventures ahead of him. As the boys eventually arrive, a mysterious and urgent message is discovered through the rescue of a carrier pigeon, which leads to a quest into the woods when Tom Slade takes the initiative to find those in need of help. The narrative not only introduces the delightful banter among the scouts but also establishes the importance of teamwork and selflessness inherent in the scouting tradition.
