Summary "Richard Dare's Venture; Or, Striking Out for Himself" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, specifically aimed at a young audience, particularly boys. The story follows a determined young man named Richard Dare as he leaves his small, sleepy village to seek his fortune in the bustling city of New York. With little money but plenty of ambition, Richard is confronted by the challenges of urban life while trying to maintain his personal virtues, which were instilled in him by his mother. At the start of the book, Richard struggles with the limitations of his rural life and the responsibilities of caring for his family. After a serious accident involving his father, Richard resolves to venture into New York City to find work. Despite his mother's initial reservations, he prepares to leave and embarks on his journey. The opening chapters showcase his courage, optimism, and the harsh realities he faces during his travels, including the dangers of the city and the vulnerability of being a newcomer. As he navigates his way through mishaps, such as a train wreck, Richard’s character begins to shine, reflecting his resolve and resilience amidst uncertainty.
