"Tom Fairfield's Hunting Trip; or, Lost in the Wilderness" by Allen Chapman is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. The story follows the adventures of Tom Fairfield and his friends as they embark on a holiday hunting trip to the Adirondacks, filled with promise of excitement and the lure of the wilderness. The boys' enthusiasm is palpable as they prepare for their trip, but they also find themselves unexpectedly confronted with the reappearance of their former teacher, Professor Skeel, suggesting that this journey may not be as carefree as they had hoped. At the start of the novel, Tom and his friends are bustling with excitement over their upcoming hunting trip during the Christmas holidays. They engage in mischievous activities like rolling a massive snowball, which leads to a comical accident involving Professor Skeel, a character known for his unpleasant demeanor. As the boys navigate the aftermath of their snowball mishap, hints of looming dangers weave into the narrative, particularly regarding Skeel and his possible connection to some shady characters. Just as they settle into their adventure, the boys make a discovery of footprints around one of the camping cabins, hinting that they are being watched, setting up a suspenseful tone for the adventures to come.
