Summary "Through by Daylight: Or, the Young Engineer of the Lake Shore Railroad" by Oliver Optic is a novel aimed at young readers, likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young protagonist named Wolf Penniman, the son of a steam engineer, who is keenly interested in mechanics and engineering. The narrative sets the stage for both adventure and moral lessons, as Wolf encounters various challenges, including rivalry with affluent peers and the consequences of impulsive actions. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Mr. Waddie Wimpleton, a wealthy and spoiled young boy, who engages in reckless behavior that leads to a confrontation with Wolf. Following an explosive incident with a canal boat, which Waddie orchestrates out of spite, Wolf takes it upon himself to retrieve a stolen pocket-book belonging to his father from a deceitful engineer named Christy Holgate. The opening chapters establish a vivid setting filled with youthful bravado, moral dilemmas, and the budding confidence of a young engineer eager to prove himself in the world of steam and machinery.
