Aprašymas
In Brave and Bold, published in 1874, Alger relates the trials and tribulations of our hero, Robert Rushton, a poor, but honest, forthright and resolute young man. His father has, apparently, drowned at sea and, unbeknownst to Robert or his mother, has deposited a fortune-$5,000-with a ne'er-do-well factory superintendent, and father of a snobbish son-a thorn in Robert's side, who causes Robert to be fired from his factory job.
The troubles escalate for poor Robert until an act of almost unbelievable heroism begin to turn the tide. But, his problems are not over. Will he and his mother ever get the $5,000? Is his father really dead? Will the superintendent's son ever get his comeuppance? Very unusual for Alger's books, Robert actually shoots an evil-doer with the intent of killing him. An action-packed story, sure to satisfy anyone's love of adventure.
