Bag om A Boy's Fortune

Horatio Alger (1832 - 1899) was one of the most influential American authors of the 19th century, who wrote Boy's Fortune, A; or, The Strange Adventures of Ben Baker. A prolific author, he wrote more than a hundred books on the same theme: that honesty, cheerfulness, virtue, thrift, and hard work would be rewarded with success.
