The Exiles and Other Stories

"Stories for Boys" - Published in 1891, this is a collection of six of Davis's dramatic and gripping stories for boys. These are from early in his career and focus on boys and young adults, including two stories featuring one of Davis' most popular characters: Van Bibber. The stories range from a boat race between rival hotels, a baseball star who injures a bystander at a game, a tennis star who runs up against some dishonest players and judges, kids playing a dangerous game of "I dare you," a Circus outing with Van Bibber, and a novice jockey hit with temptation to throw a race.
