Young Hector's Uncle tells him that he is really a low-born beggar boy with no legal claim to his dead father's estate. Come to find out, his uncle lied, and Hector eventually succeeds to the property while his bad uncle is brought low instead. The moral of these tales is always that if you are good and honest and try hard you will triumph over adversity. Would that it were always so. 1885. Alger is the original rags-to-riches guy, often credited with inventing the strive-and-succeed spirit that inspired boys to work hard and advance themselves in order to achieve the American Dream. This theme resonates throughout his numerous writings. From Chapter One: That is more reasonable, said Mr. Roscoe, to himself, as he laid down the letter. Three hundred dollars I consider a fair price. At any rate, I do not propose to pay any more for Hector. I suppose the table is plain enough, but I don't believe in pampering the appetites of boys. If he were the master of Roscoe Hall, as he thinks he is, there might be some propriety in it; but upon that head I shall soon undeceive him. I will let him understand that I am the proprietor of the estate, and that he is only a dependent on my bounty. I wonder how he will take it. I dare say he will make a fuss, but he shall soon be made to understand that it is of no use. Now to answer these letters.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Another luck and pluck story By Henry Cate III This is a fairly classic Horatio Alger setting. Hector's father has died. Hector's uncle shows some evidence that Hector was adopted and thus not entitled to inherit the estate.The uncle sends Hector off to a school. The owner of the school is a real jerk. The owner's nephew, Jim, is a bully. Hector puts the bully in his place; there are a couple fights. Jim frames Hector for stealing. Hector's friends are able to show that the bully was the thief. Once his name is cleared, Hector leaves the school.Hector travels to New York City and stays with a friend. He rescues a young girl from a speeding carriage (I wonder how many times this happens in an Alger book.) Hector is sent to California on a mission for a friend of his, and along the way he is able to get proof that he was his father's son, and the Uncle has to give up the estate.This is a fairly pleasant, average Horatio Alger story. If you've enjoyed other Alger stories, you'll enjoy this one. If the Alger stories are new to you, this is a good one to start with.
