Rough and Ready — Horatio Alger Jr.

Rough and Ready is Book #4 in the Ragged Dick series, and another exciting story. Rufus (or Rough & Ready as his street name), an entrepreneurial newsboy, escapes with his younger sister from an abusive, drunken step-father, and vows to set up a better life for them even though this step-father does not let it happen so easily. Exciting stuff, and as always, great lessons learned, both morally and fiscally. (https://www.travis.media/books-read-and-courses-taken-in-february-2018)
