"Campfire Girls in the Allegheny Mountains; or, A Christmas Success Against Odds" by Stella M. Francis is a children's adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. It follows a group of Campfire Girls at the Hiawatha Institute as they embark on a charitable mission to assist families affected by a coal miners’ strike during the Christmas season. The story introduces the main character, Marion Stanlock, and her friends, who confront personal and social challenges as they navigate both goodwill and potential danger in their quest to help others. The opening of the book sets the stage for a significant event, the Grand Council Fire, which marks the end of the semester at the girls' camp. As they prepare for their charity work, they are surprised by the arrival of a group of Boy Scouts, illuminating a sense of camaraderie and competition. The plot thickens when Marion receives two mysterious letters: one cheerfully teasing the girls about upcoming surprises from the boys, and another ominous threat warning against their charitable efforts. This suspenseful beginning promises an engaging blend of youthful adventure, themes of bravery, and the spirit of Christmas while hinting at the complexities of growing up amid social unrest.
