Horatio Alger wrote 135 dime novels in the latter part of the 19th century. His stories were rags to riches stories illustrating how down-and-out boys might be able to achieve the American Dream. Alger's stories empathize the need for hard work and honesty as a way to get ahead. He inspired countless young people around the world. Alger describes young men in the city trying to get a head as newsboys, match boys, peddlers, street musicians, and many others. Frank's Campaign is the story of a young boy who organizes a junior army while his father was fighting in the Civil War.
