"Bob Hazard, Dam Builder" by Carl Brandt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young man named Bob Hazard, who aspires to be a civil engineer rather than following in his father's footsteps to become a lawyer. The novel explores themes of ambition, the bond between father and son, and the challenges faced during Bob's pursuit of his dreams. At the start of the narrative, Bob has a heartfelt conversation with his father about his future aspirations. Despite his father's hopes for him to continue the family law practice, Bob is determined to work in the engineering field, inspired by an exciting opportunity out West. The opening chapters set up Bob's journey as he travels solo across the country to join an engineering crew led by Steve Whitney, known as "Whiskers." Bob is introduced to the challenges of the natural environment, the camaraderie of his fellow workers, and the allure of adventure as he prepares to undertake a significant project in civil engineering. The stage is set for a blend of personal growth and thrilling experiences as Bob navigates this new world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
