Twelve popular storytellers of the early-twentieth century contributed to this collection published for the Boy Scouts of America. Among the most notable are: Zane Grey, a bestselling author of adventure novels and stories set in the American West; Jack London, a novelist, journalist, and short story writer who wrote powerful works of adventure and science fiction and was a pioneer of literary naturalism; Irvin S. Cobb, an American humorist and editor who contributed to Joseph Pulitzer's New York World; and W.H.H. "Adirondack" Murray, a clergyman and author of books set in Upstate New York's Adirondack Mountains.

These stories of adventure and mystery for children are best read aloud in the great outdoors, with a warm fire, a mug of hot cocoa, and nothing but trees all around. Written by some of twentieth-century America's most popular authors, The Boy Scout's Book of Campfire Stories is guaranteed to entertain children and adults alike.
