Fame and Fortune; or, The Progress of Richard Hunter - Horatio Alger - Bog

This is the warm-hearted conclusion to the abruptly ending and rather preachingly moral children's tale, Ragged Dick, the story of a New York Boot-black. In this tale Ragged Dick, now Richard Hunter, continues "cultivating himself," again meets with a set of lucky circumstances (with some unlucky ones thrown in there, but nothing too terribly shocking or unresolvable) and, in the end, meets with his Fame and Fortune (as the book's title indicates.) All in all it's a nice little read, easily done and enjoyed for it's simplicity and lack of complexity.
