I liked this story because it gives a good view into life in a 1930's boys camp. I was amazed at the difference between how people would treat this kind of situation today, as opposed to then, especially as far as bullying. I wasn't expecting the climax exactly how it happened and was suprised, although I'm not sure how satisfying it was. (

First words

Who having heard it firsthand from the lips of Pa Starbuck, could ever forget the famous tale of the moonbow? Who could account for its fatal charm, or explain of what singular enchantment the story was concocted?
