Publisher's Synopsis
The Young Outlaw is the sixth volume of the Tattered Tom Series, and the twelfth of the stories which are wholly or mainly devoted to street-life in New York. The story carries its moral with it, and the writer has little fear that The Young Outlaw will be selected as a model by the boys who may read his adventures, and be amused by the scrapes into which he manages to fall. In other books of the series it is seen that even a street-boy, by enterprise, industry and integrity, may hope to become a useful and respected citizen. The Young Outlaw exhibits the opposite side of the picture and points out the natural consequences of the lack of these qualities. 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.
