INSPIRATION FOR THE CLASSIC DISNEY TV SERIES Get ready to meet the boy printer's ink "flowin' through his veins" and "big bold headlines rollin' through his brains." He's Gallegher, the Newspaper Boy, starring in the story that inspired the beloved 1970s Disney television series. Here he is in ex-journalist, Richard Harding Davis', classic tale of an eager 1880s lad with a nose for news and dreams of being a great reporter. The Gallegher you in this story is the real Gallegher, exactly as his author created him. For all that, before his tale reaches its triumphant conclusion, he'll have won your heart every bit as much as Disney's Gallegher, played by actor Roger Mobley Richard Harding Davis was a world famous author who, as a young man, like his most famous character, Gallegher, dreamed of becoming a journalist and grew up to fulfill that dream. Though Davis won fame as a leading war correspondent and novelist, it is undoubtedly Gallegher, wearing out his shoes in running down the street after another newsbeat, for whom Richard Harding Davis will be longest remembered. This ebook edition features the original illustrations from the first edition of Gallegher, and a photograph of the real Gallegher, Richard Harding Davis. (Illustrations not available in Palm).

We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive classic literature collection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also 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. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works. We had had so many office–boys before Gallegher came among us that they had begun to lose the characteristics of individuals, and became merged in a composite photograph of small boys, to whom we applied the generic title of “Here, you”; or “You, boy.”We had had sleepy boys, and lazy boys, and bright, “smart” boys, who became so familiar on so short an acquaintance that we were forced to part with them to save our own self–respect.They generally graduated into district–messenger boys, and occasionally returned to us in blue coats with nickel–plated buttons, and patronized us.
