Description:
The sixth and last volume of the Woodville stories contains the record of a mechanical, rather than a moral triumph, though the virtues of patience and perseverance are incidentally illustrated, and the "little captain" of the Woodville is always a good son, a forbearing brother, and a kind friend. Lawry Wilford, the young pilot, is a boy of spirit and energy, who overcomes difficulties by a strong faith in himself, and redeems his family from poverty, in spite of the bad example and the bad conduct of his father and his older brother.Several of the characters previously introduced in this series will be found on board of the steamer Woodville, whose history is contained in this volume, and in whose pleasant excursions on Lake Champlain our young readers are invited to join, with the hope that they will all be pleased with the boat and her gentlemanly commander.
Shelf wear on spine, personalized inscriptions inside front dated 1906. two loose pages.
