    About this ebook

    A novel written for young boys in the mid to late 19th century, this was part of the Alger series of stand-alone stories written by Horatio Alger who was "to boys what Charles Dickens is to grown-ups.[..]There are legions of boys of foreign parents who are being helped along the road to true Americanism by reading these books which are so peculiarly American in tone that the reader cannot fail to absorb some of the spirit of fair play and clean living which is so characteristically American." said the editor of this book. Other authors were included in this series and Oliver Optic was one such. His real name was William Taylor Adams (1822 – 1897). He was an academic, author, and a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
