This was Alger's first and most successful novel written for boys. I remember reading several when a youngster myself, including this one, which I just reread. These novels are simplistic stories of how disadvantaged youngsters can make good if they follow the straight and narrow path and do what is right. It also helps if you accomplish some heroic feat which earns you the gratitude of s rich man.
