In this story, Jack ends up a captain of a ship during the Civil War (lots of great historical backdrop as an added bonus!) using the persistence, 'strive and succeed' principles that Alger promoted - this book is a real page-turner, powerful characters, dramatic plot, and full of adventure and impactful storytelling - in short - you'll love it! By Felicity Barrington on July 22, 2009
This version of the book contains the four, original illustrations, rejuvenated, and six additional place-, time-, and subject-relevant illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.
The book was completed by Arthur M. Winfield after Alger's death.
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.
