Do and Dare: A Brave Boy's Fight for Fortune follows Herbert Carr, a young boy who has nothing to his name but his diligence, honesty, and cheerfulness. After Herbert and his mother are unjustly fired from their job at the local post office, Herbert's prospects seem bleak. However, fate intervenes when he befriends George Melville, a young man in poor health who needs a strong companion to help him with travel. Together, they set out on a journey west to Colorado, where George hopes the fresh mountain air will improve his health. In the rugged terrain, they face off against outlaws and encounter a series of daring adventures typical of life in the Wild West during the 1880s. Through his hard work and loyalty, Herbert gains George's trust and eventually becomes involved in a gold mine investment. Over time, his good fortune pays off, and he becomes rich, proving that integrity and perseverance can lead to success, no matter one's humble beginnings. This tale of friendship, bravery, and the dream of opportunity reflects the spirit of adventure and opportunity that defined the era, with a classic Alger twist of moral lessons and a satisfying transformation from rags to riches.
