In the camp of the Black Rider by Capwell Wyckoff
"In the Camp of the Black Rider" by Capwell Wyckoff is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventure story is aimed at young readers aged 12 to 16 and centers on two boys, Ted Thorn and Buck Dalton, who take charge of a camping trip for the Boys’ Club while tackling themes of camaraderie, leadership, and the thrill of the outdoors. The boys face challenges ranging from naturaladventure to the eerie legends surrounding their campsite, which purportedly connects to the historic Black Riders of the Revolutionary War. The opening of the book establishes a typical summer day in the inland town of Ridgefield, showcasing Ted and Buck preparing for their much-anticipated camping trip. As Ted enjoys a lunch with his family, he learns about his appointment to lead the camping expedition to the mysterious Black Riders’ Camp, which is rumored to be haunted. Intrigued, Ted sets out to explore the camp site and encounters a mysterious lantern in the mountains, leading to questions about who else might be nearby. The stage is set for an adventure filled with suspense, camaraderie, and possibly the supernatural as the boys prepare to lead the younger club members on their journey into the wild.
