Paul Prescott's Charge

Horatio Alger Jr. (1832-1899) popularized the idea of rags to riches, writing about it frequently as a theme  for the way America viewed itself as a country. Alger’s works about poor boys rising to better living conditions through hard work, determination, courage, honesty, and morals was popular with both adults and younger readers. 


One of those boys was Paul Prescott, whose story of rags to riches is told in Paul Prescott's Charge.  This edition of Alger’s Paul Prescott’s Charge is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Alger, Jr.
