Summary: "Lost Farm Camp" by Harry Herbert Knibbs is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives of Hoss Avery and his daughter Swickey, who live a secluded life in the northern timberlands, and their encounters with both the natural world and those who come to work in the area. The early chapters introduce Swickey as a budding hunter alongside her father, highlighting themes of family, survival, and the simplicity of life away from urban distractions. The opening of the book establishes a picturesque yet wild setting, where old man Avery is concerned about a bear damaging their supplies. As the story unfolds, we see a charming dynamic between Avery and Swickey, marked by their humorous exchanges over hunting and the challenges of living off the land. Swickey's excitement to shoot a bear also reveals her adventurous spirit, contrasting with her father’s cautious demeanor. When she successfully takes down a bear, it marks a pivotal moment in her coming-of-age story, while the introduction of new characters, such as David Ross, who comes seeking a rustic life, hints at deeper plots and relationships that will develop as the narrative progresses.
