Summary "Off Santiago with Sampson" by James Otis is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Teddy Dunlap, who is determined to find his father, a coal-passer in the Navy involved in the Spanish-American War. This engaging narrative promises to explore themes of adventure, courage, and the bond between father and son as Teddy embarks on an ambitious quest to reunite with his father amidst the chaos of war. The opening of the book introduces Teddy, a small but defiant boy, as he contemplates breaking into a forbidden coal yard filled with towering heaps of coal and the potential for adventure. After a chance encounter with a workman, Teddy hatches a plan to stow away on a coal ship, the Merrimac, which is bound for Cuba. Throughout this opening portion, Teddy's character is fleshed out as a resourceful and determined young boy, eager to link up with his father despite the fears and challenges that lie ahead. The stage is set for a charming and action-filled journey that highlights the resilience and bravery of youth during a tumultuous time in American history.
