His work is just as popular to-day as it was years ago. The books have a quality, the value of which is beyond computation.There are legions of boys of foreign parents who are being helped along the road to true Americanism by reading these books which are so peculiarly American in tone that the reader cannot fail to absorb some of the spirit of fair play and clean living which is so characteristically American.In this list will be included certain books by Edward Stratemeyer, Oliver Optic, and other authors who wrote the Alger type of stories, which are equal in interest and wholesomeness with those written by the famous author after which this great line of books for boys is named.ALL TITLES ALWAYS IN PRINTBy HORATIO ALGER, Jr.1—Driven from Home2—A Cousin’s Conspiracy3—Ned Newton4—Andy Gordon5—Tony, the Tramp6—The Five Hundred Dollar Check7—Helping Himself8—Making His Way9—Try and Trust10—Only an Irish Boy11—Jed, the Poorhouse Boy12—Chester Rand13—Grit, the Young Boatman of Pine Point14—Joe’s Luck15—From Farm Boy to Senator16—The Young Outlaw17—Jack’s Ward18—Dean Dunham19—In a New World20—Both Sides of the Continent21—The Store Boy22—Brave and Bold23—A New York Boy24—Bob Burton25—The Young Adventurer26—Julius, the Street Boy27—Adrift in New York28—Tom Brace29—Struggling Upward30—The Adventures of a New York Telegraph Boy31—Tom Tracy32—The Young Acrobat33—Bound to Rise34—Hector’s Inheritance35—Do and Dare36—The Tin Box37—Tom, the Bootblack38—Risen from the Ranks39—Shifting for Himself40—Wait and Hope41—Sam’s Chance42—Striving for Fortune43—Phil, the Fiddler44—Slow and Sure45—Walter Sherwood’s Probation46—The Trials and Triumphs of Mark Mason47—The Young Salesman48—Andy Grant’s Pluck49—Facing the World50—Luke Walton51—Strive and Succeed52—From Canal Boy to President53—The Erie Train Boy54—Paul, the Peddler55—The Young Miner56—Charlie Codman’s Cruise57—A Debt of Honor58—The Young Explorer59—Ben’s Nugget60—The Errand Boy61—Frank and Fearless62—Frank Hunter’s Peril63—Adrift in the City64—Tom Thatcher’s Fortune65—Tom Turner’s Legacy66—Dan, the Newsboy67—Digging for Gold68—Lester’s Luck69—In Search of Treasure70—Frank’s Campaign71—Bernard Brook’s Adventures72—Robert Coverdale’s Struggles73—Paul Prescott’s Charge74—Mark Manning’s Mission75—Rupert’s Ambition76—Sink or Swim77—The Backwoods Boy78—Tom Temple’s Career79—Ben Bruce80—The Young Musician81—The Telegraph Boy82—Work and Win83—The Train Boy84—The Cash Boy85—Herbert Carter’s Legacy86—Strong and Steady87—Lost at Sea88—From Farm to Fortune89—Young Captain Jack90—Joe, the Hotel Boy91—Out for Business92—Falling in with Fortune93—Nelson, the Newsboy94—Randy of the River95—Jerry, the Backwoods Boy96—Ben Logan’s Triumph97—The Young Book Agent168—Luck and Pluck169—Ragged Dick170—Fame and Fortune171—Mark, the Match Boy172—Rough and Ready173—Ben, the Luggage Boy174—Rufus and RoseBy EDWARD STRATEMEYER98—The Last Cruise ofThe Spitfire99—Reuben Stone’s Discovery100—True to Himself101—Richard Dare’s Venture102—Oliver Bright’s Search103—To Alaska for Gold104—The Young Auctioneer105—Bound to Be an Electrician106—Shorthand Tom107—Fighting for His Own108—Joe, the Surveyor109—Larry, the Wanderer110—The Young Ranchman111—The Young Lumberman112—The Young Explorers113—Boys of the Wilderness114—Boys of the Great Northwest115—Boys of the Gold Field116—For His Country117—Comrades in Peril118—The Young Pearl Hunters119—The Young Bandmaster120—Boys of the Fort121—On Fortune’s Trail122—Lost in the Land of Ice123—Bob, the PhotographerBy OLIVER OPTIC124—Among the Missing125—His Own Helper126—Honest Kit Dunstable127—Every Inch a Boy128—The Young Pilot129—Always in Luck130—Rich and Humble131—In School and Out132—Watch and Wait133—Work and Win134—Hope and Have135—Haste and Waste136—Royal Tarr’s Pluck137—The Prisoners of the Cave138—Louis Chiswick’s Mission139—The Professor’s Son140—The Young Hermit141—The Cruise ofThe Dandy142—Building Himself Up143—Lyon Hart’s Heroism144—Three Young Silver Kings145—Making a Man of Himself146—Striving for His Own147—Through by Daylight148—Lightning Express149—On Time150—Switch Off151—Brake Up152—Bear and Forbear153—The “Starry Flag”154—Breaking Away155—Seek and Find156—Freaks of Fortune157—Make or Break158—Down the River159—The Boat Club160—All Aboard161—Now or Never162—Try Again163—Poor and Proud164—Little by Little165—The Sailor Boy166—The Yankee Middy167—Brave Old Salt175—Fighting for FortuneBy Roy Franklin176—The Young Steel WorkerBy Frank H.
