Inspirational story of a young man who works hard and succeeds....

 

Joe's Luck

 

by Horatio Alger, Jr.

 

     Here is one of Alger's later books.  After a trip to California to get a feel for the frontier, a few years after the Gold Rush, Alger returned to New York and wrote a series of books about California.  Only one other has been reprinted in recent years.  

      Horatio Alger was, for at least half a century, one of the most popular writers in America. Even today, over one hundred years after Alger's death, we hear the comment, "That's a real Horatio Alger rags-to-riches success story."  For generations this statement has been applied to particularly successful persons who have achieved renown despite humble beginnings.
For the great many people who haven't read a book by this famous author, here is an opportunity to enjoy Alger's trademark formula:  Joe, an orphan, travels as a young man to California to make his fortune.  Luck and hard work pay off in rough and tumble San Francisco and the Gold Country.
