Summary: "Campmates: A Story of the Plains" by Kirk Munroe is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Glen Eddy, a boy who has recently learned of his adoptive status after surviving a tragic train wreck that claimed his true mother's life. Set against the backdrop of early railroading and expanding settlements, the narrative explores themes of identity, adventure, and the transition from boyhood to maturity as Glen navigates his new life. The beginning of the story introduces us to Glen's challenging journey as he travels by a slow, uncomfortable train to reunite with his army officer father at a fort in the West. The scene is vivid with descriptions of weather-related travel woes, highlighting the dangers faced by passengers, including a weary young mother and her baby—a crucial subplot that foreshadows events to come. After the train encounters a catastrophic accident due to flooding, only Glen and his rescuer, the engine-driver Luke Matherson, survive. As the story unfolds, Glen, now without any known family, is left to discover his identity and purpose while embarking on a new adventure under the guidance of Mr. Hobart, a civil engineer, learning about his aspirations and the challenges that come with them.
