Summary: "The Mail Carrier" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around David Evans, a young boy trapper who earns money by catching quails to fulfill a contract, which incites jealousy from other boys in the settlement and threatens his hard-won success. The plot is intertwined with family dynamics, as David navigates his ambitions while dealing with the shadows of his father's criminal past and the mischievous designs of his brother Dan. At the start of the story, David triumphantly returns home after successfully shipping quails and receiving payment, but he is quickly overshadowed by his brother Dan's attempts to sabotage him. The opening introduces a cast of characters, including Godfrey Evans, David's disgraced father, who is eager to reclaim control over David’s earnings for his selfish desires. When Dan learns of David's newfound wealth, he informs Godfrey, leading to plans for robbery. This sets the stage for conflict as David tries to keep his money safe from both his father and his brother. Through the interactions and underlying tensions, the narrative hints at themes of ambition, loyalty, and the struggles within familial relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
