Strive and Succeed

or; The Progress of Walter Conrad

(1872)

To My Young Friends, ISABELLA AND EDWIN, This Volume Is Affectionately Dedicated

PREFACE:

Strive and Succeed is reprinted from the
pages of Young Israel, a New York juvenile
magazine, to which it was contributed as a
serial. It is complete in itself, and can be
read independently; but those who have read
its predecessor, “Strong and Steady,” may be
interested to learn that it traces the subsequent
career of Walter Conrad, showing how
he continued to paddle his own canoe, and
chronicles the adventures of Joshua Drummond
after his flight from home. As Walter’s success as a teacher at the
West may seem to some improbable, in view
of his youth, I am led to say that I know of
more than one case equally remarkable, in
particular that of a gentleman since prominent
as a politician. The moral of the book
is contained in the title. As a rule of action,
I recommend it confidently to all my young
readers.

New York, Oct. 1, 1872.
