"The Dare Boys in Vincennes" by Stephen Angus Douglas Cox is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two brothers, Dick and Tom Dare, as they embark on a perilous journey during the American Revolutionary War to deliver a critical message to Fort Vincennes.

to accompany them. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Dick and Tom as they are assigned a secretive mission by a general in Charleston.
