About this book

Sam, once known as the Young Outlaw, tries to leave his bad habits behind in this 1876 sequel by Horatio Alger. The chapters follow him through new clothes and a first day in business, a reward offer and a ring to be returned, a savings bank book, the loss of his place, and a trip on the Fall River boat to Boston, where a college society takes him in. In the preface Alger admits that curing a boy of his faults is almost as hard in fiction as in real life. Near the end the story moves on two years.

Horatio Alger

Horatio Alger Jr. was an American author who wrote young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States from 1868 through to his death in 1899.
