Before his famous tales of street boys, Horatio Alger gathered this ‘autumn sheaf’ of sentimental stories and poems, dedicated to his mother. A child reclaims a miser, a little boy dies too soon, a Thanksgiving is kept, Bertha has a Christmas vision and Peter the Great works as a carpenter in Amsterdam.
A curiosity for Alger readers, showing where his moral storytelling began. Download the free EPUB.
