Percy Keese Fitzhugh (1876-1950) was an American writer, best known for his four series of novels with a Boy Scouting theme, revolving around the fictional town of Bridgeboro, New Jersey. Fitzhugh's major characters included Tom Slade, Pee-Wee Harris, Roy Blakely, and Westy Martin. Tom Slade at Temple Camp is the second in a series that began with Tom Slade Boy Scout; Fitzhugh was commissioned by the Boy Scouts of America to write a book based on the 1914 film of that name.
