Summary "Golden Days for Boys and Girls, Vol. XII, Jan. 3, 1891" by Various is a collection of stories and articles intended for children, written during the late 19th century. This volume appears to be part of a serialized publication that offers a mix of fiction, educational content, and various forms of entertainment for young readers. The general theme revolves around adventure, morality, and the excitement of childhood experiences, catering to the interests and sensibilities of its young audience. The opening portion of the volume presents a series of advertisements followed by a narrative titled "Railroad Rock, The Train Boy of the Pen Yan," which introduces us to a young protagonist named Rock. He finds himself at a critical juncture, having been discharged from his job on a railroad due to his efforts to keep trains safe. As he seeks another position, he recounts a harrowing experience where he rode a hand-car to signal an approaching train about a washed-away bridge, ultimately reflecting his courage and dedication. This sets the tone for the adventure-filled tales to come, highlighting themes of bravery and responsibility in the face of perilous situations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
