Young Captain Jack (Illustrated)

In this story, Jack ends up a captain of a ship during the Civil War (lots of great historical backdrop as an added bonus!) using the persistence, 'strive and succeed' principles that Alger promoted - this book is a real page-turner, powerful characters, dramatic plot, and full of adventure and impactful storytelling - in short - you'll love it!
