The Young Outlaw; or, Adrift in the Streets

The Young Outlaw It different from the usual rags-to-riches story by Horatio Alger -- because the "hero" is not honorable, steals and lies when he thinks it would help, does not get to a decent life by working diligently, and ends up on the street. Again, NOT your usual Alger -- but the sequel we\'re directed to at the end (Sam\'s Chance) would indicate that all will change in the future.
