Little Snap the Postboy; Or, Working for Uncle Sam

The mountains of West Virginia hide more than mail. They hide danger. In the early 1900s, delivering a letter could cost you your life. Little Snap knows this better than anyone.\n\nDix Lewis earns his nickname the hard way: he's small, he's fast, and he refuses to let anything stop the mail. When mysterious strangers start circling his route, demanding letters he won't surrender, Little Snap finds himself running through hollows with nothing but nerve and speed between him and the men who'd rather see the message burned than delivered. An old hermit sets him on this path. Dangerous bushbinders hunt him. And somewhere in the mountains, something worth dying for waits to be found.\n\nThis is frontier adventure at its purest: a boy against the wilderness, against outlaws, against long odds. The U.S. mail runs through people like Little Snap, and Browne captures that stubborn, reckless devotion to duty that built a nation. Perfect for readers who loved Tom Sawyer or any story where courage comes in small packages and the wilderness fights back.
