Have you heard about gold rush? If you read White Fang, definitely you know what it is. The Young Miner by Alger is a story relating us the same scenario of people who are anxious to become rich in one day found Eldorado of gold. Adventures of main character Tom Nelson in the Land of Gold will be useful for those who always patiently awaits for luck without industrious hard work. But the prosperity of main character was chiefly due to his own energy and industry; no doubt he was exceptionally lucky but very prolific lucker. Some measure of prosperity generally awaits the patient and energetic worker, and seldom comes to those who idly wait for something to turn up.
