About this eBook

Author Alger, Horatio, Jr., 1832-1899
Title The Tin Box, and What it Contained
Credits Gary Sandino
Summary "The Tin Box, and What it Contained" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Harry Gilbert, a hardworking boy who faces challenges stemming from his socio-economic status as he interacts with the arrogant wealthy boy, Philip Ross. The novel explores themes of class conflict and morality as Harry navigates his responsibilities at home and his job at a grocery store amidst the disdain of the privileged. The opening of the book introduces Harry Gilbert, a fifteen-year-old boy who works at Mead’s grocery store to support his widowed mother after his father, a sea captain, disappeared years ago. As Harry goes about his day, he encounters Philip Ross, a haughty classmate who refuses to share the road and insists on maintaining his position in the middle, leading to a collision between their carriages. The altercation sets the stage for further conflict, as Philip’s haughty behavior and the fallout from their encounter initiate a series of events that will test Harry’s character and resilience amid class prejudice and moral dilemmas.
