Mark Manning’s Mission; The Story of a Shoe Factory Boy
Mark Manning's Mission is a story of a boy who has had some misfortune's in life, but manages to land on his feet. Mark keeps his chin up, his eyes open for opportunity, and his heart in the right place, as he struggles to support himself and his widowed mother. The adventures he has as he makes his way in life are well told and a pleasure to read, and you can be sure that the ending will be satisfying.
In the late 1800's, Horatio Alger's books were eagerly devoured by thousands of boys who, like his heroes, aspired to make something of themselves in life. His values, and the values of his era were simple ones of basic decency, hard work, and optimism.
