About This Item
Philadelphia ; Chicago ; Toronto : John C. Winston Co, 1905. Hardcover. Acceptable. Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. Internal binding weakened. Stamp on end pages. In the 1870s, after his father is lost at sea, sixteen-year-old Robert Rushton works at the local factory to support himself and his mother but soon finds himself without a job seeking his fortunes in New York City and eventually voyaging to Calcutta in search of his father. <br> "Alger had a genuineness of sympathy with his heroes, a naive confidence in the unfailing power of thrift, cheerfulness, and industry ... He was read by thousands, and the way the Horatio Alger hero has become a symbol of the proverbial 'rags to riches' is proof of his wide popularity in his own times and for a generation afterward
