| 16 | Author: | Alger, Horatio, 1832-1899 | Add | | | Title: | Driven From Home | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | A BOY of sixteen, with a small gripsack in
his hand, trudged along the country road. He
was of good height for his age, strongly built,
and had a frank, attractive face. He was
naturally of a cheerful temperament, but at present
his face was grave, and not without a shade
of anxiety. This can hardly be a matter of
surprise when we consider that he was thrown
upon his own resources, and that his available
capital consisted of thirty-seven cents in
money, in addition to a good education and
a rather unusual amount of physical strength.
These last two items were certainly valuable,
but they cannot always be exchanged for the
necessaries and comforts of life. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

kindly man. Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a
farm-hand for a man named Thomas Butterworth whose place lay near the
town of Bidwell, Ohio. He had then a horse of his own and on Saturday
evenings drove into town to spend a few hours in social intercourse
with other farm-hands. In town he drank several glasses of beer and
stood about in Ben Head's saloon—crowded on Saturday evenings with
visiting farm-hands. Songs were sung and glasses thumped on the bar.
At ten o'clock father drove home along a lonely country road, made his
horse comfortable for the night and himself went to bed, quite happy in
his position in life. He had at that time no notion of trying to rise
in the world. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
