Description: In the late 1800's, Horatio Alger's books were eagerly devoured by thousands of boys who, like his heroes, aspired to make something of themselves in life. His values, and the values of his era, were simple ones of basic decency, hard work, and optimism. Our hero in this story, Walter Conrad, embodies these values. Walter is a resolute and strong-willed boy of fifteen with a loving and wealthy father.
