| Publisher Description: Gerald Lane heads west to seek his fortune and claim the money owed his father by an unscrupulous former business partner. This edition of the book contains five original illustrations by J. Watson Davis that have been restored as closely as possible to their original condition. Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 - July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many formulaic juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age. Includes vintage illustration |
