"The Scranton High Chums on the Cinder Path" by Donald Ferguson is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century.

The book combines elements of friendship, competition, and the thrill of youthful exploration. At the start of the narrative, the boys set out on a nutting adventure, illustrating their camaraderie and excitement as they gather black walnuts and chestnuts. Along the way, they casually discuss an abandoned quarry rumored to be haunted, which piques their curiosity and foreshadows upcoming thrills. Hugh is particularly interested in the old quarry as he prepares for an upcoming marathon race, discovering shortcuts and strategizing with his friends.
