The Young Outlaw or A drift in the Streets edition by Horatio Alger Reference eBooks
Like most Horatio Alger novels, this one is fun, direct, and uncomplicated. Life on farms and in small towns in the 1830s and 1840s was hard. Most farmers were poor, and young people migrated to cities as soon as they could. In New York City thousands of street kids survived shining shoes, selling apples and newspapers, "smashing" luggage, and running errands, as well as working at retail stores and restaurants.I've read maybe fifty Horatio Alger novels. Most have plucky young heroes overcoming adversity while learning life on the streets. This short novel features an thoughtful ambivalence and realistic look at youth after early years with alcoholic or absent parents. Young people naturally prefer play to work or study, and learn slowly if at all the life lessons others are taught by parents, community, and church.
The early life of one "young outlaw" is related here by Alger with humor and charm. Alger prefaces his story noting he had difficulty managing this fictional young man's behavior and still isn't sure where his life will lead (that's left to a sequel). Alger drew many of his stories from interviews with street kids in New York City, and some novels are footnoted with New York Times articles (Ben the Luggage Boy, for example).
I can't claim to know what life is like for today's "young outlaws" who grow up with distracted, absent, or alcoholic parents. But it wouldn't surprise me if live surviving in the "projects" resembles in many ways life sketched by Alger in this story.
