In Jeopardy by Van Tassel Sutphen

First published in 1902, In Jeopardy showcases Van Tassel Sutphen at his most engaging: a tale of romance and adventure in which courage, loyalty, and love are all put to the test. Sutphen, a respected editor at Harper's and a popular storyteller of his day, writes with brisk charm and a keen eye for character, delivering peril and warmth in equal measure. This edition returns the complete, unabridged original text to print exactly as it first appeared, paired with a new introduction that situates the book in its literary moment and reader's notes that illuminate period vocabulary, settings, and customs. Whether you are discovering a forgotten favorite or meeting Sutphen for the first time, this volume offers a welcoming doorway into early twentieth-century American fiction. Faithful, readable, and thoughtfully annotated, it keeps a century-old story alive for today's readers. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
