| Summary |
"Guns and Snowshoes; Or, the Winter Outing of the Young Hunters" by Captain Ralph Bonehill is a novel written during the early 20th century. This story is part of the "Boy Hunters Series" and follows a group of adventurous boys as they embark on a winter camping trip filled with hunting, camaraderie, and unexpected challenges. The primary characters include the lively boys known as Snap, Whopper, Shep, and the youngest, Giant, who all share a passion for the great outdoors and hunting in the winter landscape. The opening of the book introduces these four friends in the snowy town of Fairview, who are eager to embark on their winter outing after successfully working hard at school. Their excitement quickly turns to mischief as they engage in a playful snowball fight, which leads to an encounter with a local sawmill owner named Andrew Felps, who has a history with the boys. As the chapter progresses, the tone shifts when they learn that their camp from the summer has been destroyed in a fire, setting the stage for their new adventures, challenges, and possibly the presence of enemies from their past, suggesting that their outing might hold more surprises than they had anticipated.
