The Ragged Hour: Tales Of Crime And Courage In Cities
Readable excerpts recount troubled youths shaped by harsh urban life. A ten year old boy endures brutal punishment by his drunken father, then finds reform at school. A San Francisco newsboy ascends to business success, while a pair of rural anecdotes warn against cruelty to animals and remind of kindness. Includes brief vignettes on fires, weather, and commentary from authorities on Paris and London.
