"Careers of Danger and Daring" by Cleveland Moffett is a non-fiction collection written in the late 19th century. The book explores various adventurous professions that involve significant risks, such as steeple-climbing, deep-sea diving, ballooning, and others, shedding light on the lives and experiences of individuals who choose these dangerous careers. The opening of the book introduces "Steeple Bob," a skilled steeple-climber who captivates onlookers with his daring feats high above the streets of New York City. The narrator details their conversations with him, revealing Bob's modesty and passion for adventure, gleaned from years of experiences both at sea and on land. Through Bob's anecdotes, readers gain insight into the techniques and perilous situations that come with steeple-climbing, from dealing with the trepidation of heights to the physical demands of the job, all while inviting readers into the fascinating world of those who embrace danger as a part of their careers.
