| Summary |
"Pee-wee Harris, F.O.B. Bridgeboro" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the energetic and imaginative character of Pee-wee Harris, who is an enthusiastic Boy Scout and is known for his creative schemes and relentless spirit. The book seems to explore Pee-wee's adventures and misadventures as he embarks on various escapades related to camping and scouting. The opening of the story introduces us to Pee-wee, characterized by his boundless energy and humorous quirks, such as his tendency to put his foot in his mouth. We see him preparing for a trip to Temple Camp with his friend Townsend Ripley, indicating Pee-wee's strong desire to lead and organize activities that engage his fellow scouts. The narrative describes his ambitious plans for a relay race to Temple Camp, driven by a whimsical thought that springs from an encounter with a gum-drop. As Pee-wee collects supplies and organizes his thoughts, the reader is invited into a world filled with camaraderie, humor, and youthful determination, all set against the backdrop of playful scouting adventures.
