Do And Dare (Illustrated Edition): A Brave Boy's Fight For Fortune

Herbert Carr is the son of a war widow who had assumed her husband's place as postmaster of the small rural town in Wayneboro. Widow Carr is upset because Squire Walsingham is using his political influence to take the post away from the widow and put into the hands of his nephew, Ebenezer Graham, the local miser and shopkeeper. Walsingham succeeds in his efforts and the post is given to Mr. Graham. Since Mr. Graham is uncertain of how to run a post office, he offers to hire Herbert for a pittance to run things until he learns what must be done. However, Mr. Graham's son, Eben Graham, a fop/spendthrift, returns from Boston where he had been a shop clerk. Fired because of his own arrogance, he returns home seeking employment. Mr. Graham fires Herbert and hires his son. Herbert encounters many trials and tribulations throughout the rest of the book. Included in this Illustrated Edition of Do and Dare is the original illustration, rejuvenated.
