Owen Kildare grew up an orphan in the tenements and streets of New York, living by his fists and his wits around the Bowery and its saloons. His autobiography tells how a young schoolteacher, Mamie Rose, treated him with respect, taught him to read and write, and set him on a new path.
A touching story of the slums and redemption, valuable for its picture of old New York. Download the free EPUB.
