Horatio Alger Jr.
Risen from the Ranks: Or, Harry Walton's Success
Harry Walton was the oldest son of a poor New Hampshire farmer, who found great difficulty in wresting from his few sterile acres a living for his family.
Young entrepreneur Harry Walton leaves Professor Henderson to enter the Centerville Gazette as a printer's apprentice, also known as a "printer's devil," in his continued attempt to emulate the life of Benjamin Franklin, his hero. Although this means that he will take a loss in pay, he sees it as a favorable investment for the future. The editor, Jotham Anderson, who is willing to act as a patron to the young man, hires him. Harry works with two other men, John Clapp, a spendthrift who associates with Luke Harrison, and Mr. Ferguson, who has a family and behaves very respectably.
