Peter Dillon

Peter Dillon is a young boy who struggles with fear and self-confidence. His fear of heights makes him avoid a train trestle, but Connie Kendall's advice about positive thinking persuades him to test himself there. He freezes on the tracks until Whit helps him escape an approaching train. Peter also ventures onto a frozen river during one of Rodney Rathbone's dares. When the ice breaks beneath him, Isaac Morton organizes a rescue and pulls him from the water. Peter's dangerous experiences show how easily encouragement can become reckless when confidence is not joined with preparation, wisdom, and genuine courage.
