Summary "In a New World: or, Among the Gold-Fields of Australia" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces young American boys Harry Vane and Jack Pendleton, who embark on an adventurous journey to the Australian gold fields, hoping to seek their fortunes amid the exciting but treacherous atmosphere of gold prospecting. Their journey is sprinkled with themes of friendship, ambition, and the challenges of survival in a new land. The opening of the novel sets the scene in a modest inn in Melbourne, where Professor Hemmenway, a magician, and two boys, Harry and Jack, prepare for their next steps after surviving a shipwreck together. While the professor plans to return to America, the boys, motivated by a desire for adventure and a better future, decide to pursue opportunities in the mines. As they discuss their plans, Harry expresses confidence, while Jack shares his dreams of supporting his mother. Their intentions attract the attention of a shady character named Dick Fletcher, who insinuates himself into their plans, hinting at future conflicts as they set out towards the mines. The tension builds as they prepare to face the uncertainties and dangers of their new adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
