Making his Way: Frank Courtney's Struggle Upward

by Jr. Horatio Alger

Overview

Many of the villains in his books are rich boys who never had to make any effort to improve their character. Alger's main point was that striving for success is not just to 'get a fortune' but could give us tenacity, discipline, frugality and optimism - qualities which cannot be bought.
