Jack's Ward, published first in book form in 1875 is the second volume in Alger's Brave and Bold Series. It tells the story of an impoverished family discovers a child on their doorstep and undertakes to raise the infant. Set in New York City, it is full to the brim of adventure, kidnapping, phony medicine and heroic action.

Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many formulaic juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age.
