About this book

Fred sells papers, magazines and novels to passengers on the Erie railroad, and Joshua Bascom, a farmer's son on his first visit to New York, is one of his customers. Horatio Alger's story goes on through railroad adventures, a hotel clerk's mistake, a missing valise, a time when Fred falls under suspicion and is held as a prisoner, and then a confidential mission and a search for a clue. The last chapters include Fred's reward and a letter from Tom Sloan.

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.
