One of the great nineteenth-century English adventure novels Captains Courageous follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr. the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. After being tossed overboard an ocean liner Harvey meets Disko Troop captain of the small fishing boat We're Here who refuses to take the young man back to port but agrees to take him on as part of the crew. Over the course of the novel Harvey befriends the captain's son Dan who helps the arrogant millionaire develop into a hard-working honest young man who is self-reliant and content with living simply. <br /> The novel originally appeared as a serialization in McClure's between November 1896 and May 1897. In 1900 Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Boy" praising Kipling for describing "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do".<br /> "The work has always been popular in the USA and various versions have been filmed." Sutherland p. 104.<br /> <br /> The English journalist novelist poet and short-story writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Captains Courageous was written in a particularly prolific period of Kipling's career when he lived in Vermont with his young family. There he produced a profusion of poetry as well as The Jungle Book. MacMillan & Co unknown

Livingston 136 Martindell 68.<br /> <br /> <p>Rudyard Kipling wrote Captains Courageous during the years he lived in Vermont with his young family in a house he designed to resemble a ship. The Dr. James Conland to whom the American edition is dedicated was the family physician whose stories of his time in a Massachusetts fishing fleet inspired this bildungsroman about a millionaire's son who learns the value of hard work at sea. The novel drew praise from Teddy Roosevelt and the 1937 film adaptation won Spencer Tracy an Oscar for his portrayal of a kindly fisherman.<br /> <br /> <p>The first British edition slightly preceded by the first American edition was issued by Macmillan in pretty gift binding reflecting the status Kipling had already achieved as a writer.
