Letters on Self Education with Hints on Style, and Dialogues on Political Economy (1861)

Coop had held his position with the Border Patrol for over five years but lost his job due to a smuggling operation having the ability to get past him undetected. Being unemployed in the South forced him into the lower ranks of the poor and he soon lost everything he had worked for. He started his own successful yard-care business but accepted a job helping a lovely young southern bell that had inherited substantial wealth. This might have been a good deal except that he is plagued by an uncontrollable curiosity that keeps him in trouble.
