ABOUT BOOK

In "Careers of Danger and Daring" the author has first of all won the distinction of getting away from the commonplace, for one who reads Mr. Moffett's recounting of the curious things he has learned of ten curious careers will have added in large measure to one's knowledge of the lives of workers with few of whom the ordinary citizen is ever brought into contact. The author's friends among the steeple climbers, deep sea divers, and other danger courting workers, all have good stories to tell that go well with the author's interesting descriptions of their careers. It is a book any boy of pluck and nerve will cherish.
