Nat Nason, a poor country boy with a strong desire to better his condition leaves the country after a quarrel with his miserly uncle - and strikes out to the big city to find his fortune. Nat's eyes open as he sees the difference between life in a quiet country place and in a great bustling city.

He obtains, by accident, a fair sum of money and with this he resolves to go into a business of some kind. But a sharper quickly relieved him of his wealth, and opens Nat's eyes to the fact that he was not as shrewd as he had thought himself to be.

A great example of personal success story-telling from the master, Horatio Alger. Alger wrote to instill the principle of Strive and Succeed, Personal Growth and Achievement-to attain the American dream. He inspired countless millions of young people world-wide and was the Mark Victor Hanson and Tony Robbins of his era. "Horatio Alger Jr. was the biggest American media star of his day. [When] the sale of 10,000 volumes was deemed a publishing triumph in those days-readers bought at least 200 million copies of his books, placing him in the Stephen King category"...Stefan Kanfer

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.
