Books with title Dan, the Newsboy

Looking up, Dan met the glance of a boy who was passing—a tall, slender, supercilious-looking boy, who turned his head away scornfully as he met Dan's glance. "I know him," said Dan to himself. "I ought to know Tom Carver. We used to sit together at school. But that was when father was rich. He won't notice me now. Well, I don't want him to," proceeded Dan, coloring indignantly. "He thinks himself above me, but he needn't. His father failed, too, but he went on living just the same. People say he cheated his creditors. My poor father gave up all he had, and sank into poverty." This was what passed through Dan's mind. The other boy—Tom Carver—had recognized Dan, but did not choose to show it.

Horatio Alger tells the story of young boy from New York, thrust into the heart of poverty, but who makes his way up in the world through a combination of pluck and luck. Mostly luck. Although Dan does a good job of acting a gentleman and not wasting the money he comes across, fortune is practically dumped on his luck by several overly generous strangers who seem to take a liking to him out of nowhere.

"Nelson the Newsboy" relates the adventures of a wide-awake lad in the great metropolis. The youth is of unknown parentage and is thrown out upon his own resources at a tender age. He becomes at first a newsboy, and from that gradually works up to something better. He is often tempted to do wrong—the temptation becoming particularly hard on account of his extreme poverty—but there is that in his make-up which keeps him in the right path, and in the end he becomes a victor in more ways than one.

Excerpt from Dan: The NewsboyAttra'cted by the business-like tone of the newsboy, a gentleman paused as' he was ascending the steps of the Astor House, and said, with a smile: You seem to appreciate the Telegram, my boy. Any important news this afternoon? Buy the paper, and you'll see, said the boy, shrewdly. I see - you don't care to part with the news for nothing. Well, here are your two cents. Thank you, sir. Still the gentleman lingered, his eyes fixed upon the keen, pleasant face of the boy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
