About this book
A Waterbury watch, offered as a prize for the fastest skater across a pond in Groveton, starts Luke Larkin's story. Frederic Hooper, a young teacher and recent Yale graduate, sets the race for his pupils. The chapters that follow include Randolph getting the watch, a party at Florence Grant's, Luke losing his position, his arrest and a court-room scene, a visit to New York, a talk with a capitalist, and a trip toward the Black Hills. Horatio Alger's book appeared in 1890, and the last chapter tells of a bank robber being found.
