"Roy Blakeley's Silver Fox Patrol" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young scouts, led by the spirited and talkative Pee-wee Harris, as they discover an old railroad car that inspires them to unravel its mysterious past. Their excitement escalates when they find an old letter hinting at adventure and buried treasure, setting the stage for a series of thrilling escapades. The opening of the novel introduces the main characters, including Roy Blakeley and Pee-wee Harris, as they sit in a field reflecting on the newly acquired railroad car that will serve as their troop's meeting place. Their playful banter leads them to find an old letter that reveals tales of train robbers and stolen gold from the past. This discovery ignites their imagination and curiosity, compelling them to embark on an adventure to uncover the secrets behind the letter and pursue the possible treasure associated with it, foreshadowing the escapades that will fill the rest of the story.
