Robert Coverdale's Struggle opens in a small fishing village on the coast of one of the New England States. Robert Coverdale is a young strong, well-made boy, with a frank, honest face, embrowned by exposure to the sun and wind, with bright and fearless eyes and a manly look. Robert has manly traits, and, in spite of his poor clothes, possessed energy, talent, honesty and a resolute will, and a boy so endowed cannot be considered poor, though he does not own a dollar, which was precisely Robert's case. Horatio Alger, Jr. authored about seventy books. He was the son of a clergyman, graduated from Harvard. His stories are pure, inspiring and as endearing today as they were when first published.

"Hasn't come here for his dram, has he?" added the old man, chuckling.John Trafton's curiosity was excited, for he had no idea of any errand that could bring Robert to the tavern. A suspicion crossed his mind, the very thought of which kindled his indignation. His wife might have sent to request Mr. Jones not to sell him any more liquor. He did not think she would dare to do it, but she might. At any rate he determined to find out.He hastily left the porch and followed Robert. Presently the boy heard his uncle call him and he turned round....

Excerpt from Robert Coverdale's Struggle I suppose he's over at the tavern as usual, said the woman despondently. He drinks up about all he earns, and there's little enough left for us. I h0pe you won't follow in his steps, Robert. You may be sure I won't, Aunt Jane, said the boy, nodding emphatically. I wouldn't drink a glass of rum for a hundred dollars.

Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 - July 18, 1899) was an American writer. He wrote magazine stories and poems, a few novels for adults, and 100 plus boys' books. His boys' books were hugely popular. Alger was born in Massachusetts, and attended Harvard College. He became a Unitarian minister, but his career as a clergyman was brief. It ended when his congregation charged him with child molestation. Criminal charges were not placed against him, but his career in the church was finished. He moved to New York City to become a professional writer. In 1868, Alger found his place in the literary world with his fourth boys' book, Ragged Dick.
