Julius The Street Boy Or Out West

Horatio Alger Jr. (January 13, 1832 - July 18, 1899) was an American writer, best known for his many young adult 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.

A homeless, fifteen-year-old New York City boy is sent by the Children's Aid Society to Brookville, Wisconsin, where his hard work and heroism win him a chance to make his own fortune.

First published in 1874 by Loring, Boston.

A homeless New York City boy is taken west by a benefactor to work on a farm and ends up rescuing a little girl kidnapped by a vengeful Indian. Aka: Julius the Street Boy, A Waif's Rise from Poverty, Life in the West, Out West.

Horatio Alger, Jr., displayed sensitivity and affection for adolescent boys in both his fiction and in his personal life. His novels frequently involve an impoverished boy with a good heart who overcomes his circumstances often by gaining the attention of an older gentleman who takes him in. Other times, the boy finds a promising future among boys his own age. Alger's works were enormously popular among the public and especially among boys, who often saw themselves in the winsome young protagonists and hoped to achieve the same rags-to-riches outcome. Julius, the Street Boy is representative of Alger's work, possessing adventure, action, humility, humanity, and a great deal of laugh-out-loud humor.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
