"News and Mail, one cent each " Half a dozen Chicago newsboys, varying in age from ten to sixteen years, with piles of papers in their hands, joined in the chorus. They were standing in front and at the sides of the Sherman House, on the corner of Clark and Randolph Streets, one of the noted buildings in the Lake City. On the opposite side of Randolph Street stands a gloomy stone structure, the Court House and City Hall. In the shadow of these buildings, at the corner, Luke Walton, one of the largest newsboys, had posted himself. There was something about his bearing and appearance which distinguished him in a noticeable way from his companions.

Cast upon the Breakers is truly inspiring From poverty to wealth - its what we all want and want for those we love, and here, our hero faces worse odds than most of us would, from villains scammers, cheats, and more. The story read great, the novel and plot is wonderful, as Alger knows how to write well and keep his page turner on track, but what I really like best is how he interweaves HOW success happens, as will as WHY, and the METHODS used.

It's a wicked little satire in verse on the subject of what "nothing to eat" means from the perspective of the idle rich. A good piece of humorous verse, in the vein of newspaper caricatures with a social point.

Brave and Bold or The Fortunes of Robert Rushton is part of a series of rags to riches stories of boys working hard and achieving the American dream of wealth. The stories can be seen as tracing American cultural and social patterns. Horatio Alger, Jr. authored about seventy books. He was the son of a clergyman, graduated from Harvard. His stories are pure, inspiring and as endearing today as they were when first published.
