About this book
The Young Explorer; Or, Claiming His Fortune is by Horatio Alger. Under the heading Chapter II, Deacon Pitkin's Offer, the text says Ben's father had died three months before. Ben is said to have lost his mother when ten years old and, having neither brother nor sister, to have been left quite alone in the world, with an inheritance of less than four hundred dollars.
On his death-bed Mr. Stanton tells his son Ben that he shall leave him almost destitute. Ben thinks "I can't wake him", and the text says Ben was quite aware that single-handed he could not cope with a powerful man like Carter. The text allows that Bradley's might be a natural sleep, induced by excessive fatigue, and that there might be nothing sinister in the intentions of their host.
