| Summary | "The Young Game-Warden" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Silas Morgan, a lazy and impoverished ferryman who stumbles upon a mysterious letter hinting at a hidden fortune in the mountains. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces Silas's family, including his ambitious son Joe, who has just landed a job as a game warden, and his lazy brother Dan, who schemes to take advantage of the situation. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene, introducing Silas Morgan as he begrudgingly hauls wood while lamenting his poor fortune. His situation changes dramatically when he discovers an intriguing letter within a woodpile, suggesting the existence of treasure in a nearby cave. This discovery stirs his imagination and ambition, making him consider the risky endeavor of hunting for the hidden riches. Meanwhile, the dynamics between Silas and his sons unfold; Dan’s reckless nature and resentment towards Joe's good fortune create tension, hinting at the conflicts that will arise as their lives intertwine with those of the wealthy sportsmen in the area.
