From Farm to Fortune, by Horatio Alger, presents the story of a poor farm boy, Nat Nason, who had a strong desire to better his condition. Life on the farm was unusually hard for him, and after a quarrel with his miserly uncle, with whom he resided, he resolved to strike out for himself.
Nat was poor and it was a struggle to reach the great city, where the youth trusted that fame and fortune awaited him. The boy obtained, by accident, a fair sum of money and with this he resolved to go into a business of some kind. But a sharper quickly relieved him of his wealth, and opened Nat's eyes to the fact that he was not as shrewd as he had thought himself to be.
