Summary: "Do and Dare — a Brave Boy's Fight for Fortune" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows young Herbert Carr, a boy determined to help his widowed mother keep their livelihood as she struggles to maintain her position as postmaster after the death of her husband. Facing obstacles from selfish local influences, including the wealthy Squire Walsingham and his manipulative nephew, Ebenezer Graham, Herbert's resilience and determination to fight for his family's well-being set the stage for this tale of courage and adventure. The beginning of the novel introduces Herbert and his mother in their humble cottage, discussing their precarious situation as Mrs. Carr loses her postmaster position to Ebenezer Graham, who covets the income. After experiencing defeat in his efforts to plead for his mother’s retention in the office, Herbert finds himself out of work when Ebenezer returns home and takes Herbert's place in the post office. Through the opening chapters, readers witness Herbert's emotional turmoil and the challenges he faces, including betrayal when Eben falsely accuses him of theft. Herbert's journey reflects themes of integrity, hard work, and the struggle for fortune, setting the stage for his adventures and growth as a character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
