| Summary | "A Chance for Himself; or, Jack Hazard and His Treasure" by J. T. Trowbridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Jack Hazard who discovers a hidden treasure while exploring the woods, only to find himself in a moral quandary about its ownership and the ensuing adventure that comes from trying to claim it. As Jack's journey unfolds, readers are likely to encounter themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the struggle between right and wrong. The opening of the novel sets the scene on Peach Hill Farm, where Jack and a man named Mr. Pipkin are hard at work clearing stones when a thunderstorm strikes. Amidst the chaos, Jack smartly hides his clothes in a hollow log to avoid getting drenched. To his surprise, he discovers that the log contains not only his clothes but a treasure of coins, which complicates both his joy and conscience. Soon, he not only has to grapple with the question of the treasure's ownership but also deals with encounters involving his dog Lion and the whimsical antics of Squire Peternot, setting the stage for Jack's adventurous pursuit of both riches and personal integrity.
