| Summary | "Nelson the Newsboy; Or, Afloat in New York" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work follows the journey of a young boy named Nelson, who, of unknown parentage, navigates the challenging streets of New York City. Starting his life as a newsboy, he is faced with temptations and hardships, yet he strives to maintain his integrity and eventually aspires for a better life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Nelson, a fifteen-year-old newsboy struggling to make a living in New York's bustling environment. He faces challenges from other street kids and contemplates questions about his identity, raised by his mysterious upbringing under the care of Sam Pepper, a morally questionable character. An unexpected encounter with a wealthy gentleman saves the man from being run over and earns Nelson a surprising two dollars, a significant amount for him. However, this small victory is countered when he is later robbed of his savings by a bully named Billy Darnley. As Nelson grapples with these events and his desire to learn more about his past, he stands at the precipice of a larger adventure in the vibrant yet perilous world of New York City.
