Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Bob, the Photographer: or, A Hero in Spite of Himself" by Edward Stratemeyer is a coming-of-age novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young boy named Bob Alden, who faces adversity while working for a harsh farmer named Joel Carrow and dreams of becoming a photographer. After standing up to his employer and earning his freedom, Bob begins a journey filled with adventures that test his character and courage, ultimately positioning him as a hero in unexpected situations. The opening of the tale introduces Bob as he grapples with the tyrannical control of Joel Carrow, showcasing a pivotal confrontation where he dares to stand up for himself. Just as Bob is about to face further abuse, Frank Landes, an amateur photographer, intervenes, setting off a chain of events that leads Bob to leave Carrow’s oppressive farm. This decision signifies the start of an adventure that not only promises new opportunities but also leads Bob into perilous encounters, including a dramatic incident where he saves a girl from falling off a cliff. The beginning strongly establishes Bob's resolve and the themes of resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams through the lens of his passion for photography.
