Summary "A Young Hero; Or, Fighting to Win" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Fred Sheldon, who displays courage and a sense of justice as he navigates childhood conflicts and a larger adventure involving theft. The opening chapters introduce us to Fred's character as a peacemaker among his peers and as someone who values friendship and fairness. At the start of the novel, excitement builds around a schoolyard fight between two boys, Sammy McClay and Joe Hunt, which is interrupted by Fred, who steps in as a peacemaker. After this skirmish, the narrative shifts to highlight the upcoming circus, which captures the attention of the children. Later, Fred overhears a suspicious conversation with a mysterious stranger who asks about the old Misses Perkinpine's home. Concerned for their safety, Fred decides to spend the night at the Misses Perkinpine's house, eventually thwarting a robbery during which he takes on the role of protector. The opening establishes Fred as a courageous and resourceful hero, as he prepares to defend the elderly sisters and their valuables against potential threats.
