| Summary | "The Knights of the White Shield" by Edward A. Rand is a children's novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of adventurous boys who form a club called the Up-the-Ladder Club, with high aspirations to be 'knights' in their own right. Through their activities in the barn, they explore themes of friendship, ambition, and childhood adventure against the backdrop of a small-town setting. At the start of the book, the boys Sid Waters, Charlie Macomber, and Juggie Jones gather in Aunt Stanshy's barn, excitedly discussing the prospect of forming a club. They passionately describe the barn, which serves as their meeting space, and delve into the logistics of creating their organization, contemplating names and roles for each member. The initiation of their club leads to a humorous election process and the suggestion of a badge, which ultimately becomes a white shield symbolizing their values. The boys are energetic and spirited, showcasing the joys and antics of youth while establishing the spirit of camaraderie and adventure that permeates the novel.
