520 _a"Strive and Succeed; or, The Progress of Walter Conrad" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work follows the journey of the main character, Walter Conrad, a young boy faced with numerous adversities, as he strives for success and self-improvement in life. The story emphasizes themes of hard work, perseverance, and the moral responsibilities of youth, making it a likely inspirational tale for young readers. The opening of the story introduces Walter Conrad as he travels by train through Wisconsin with a carpetbag, reflecting on his recent past filled with challenges including the loss of his father and financial distress. He has come to Portville under an assumed name, "Gilbert Howard," to investigate the integrity of a businessman believed to have wronged his father. Along the way, we meet various characters, including General Wall, a wealthy man with connections to Walter's father's investment, and his arrogant son, John Wall. Walter's determination to uncover the truth about his father's lost fortune sets the stage for the personal growth and moral lessons that will develop throughout the narrative.
