By Howard Roger Garis

Book Overview

A fortune can open many doors, but it cannot shield the heart from challenge or the mind from daring adventure. In Dick Hamilton's Fortune; Or, The Stirring Doings of a Millionaire's Son, Howard Roger Garis invites readers into the exhilarating world of early 1900s America, where privilege meets peril and every choice tests the true measure of character. Follow Dick Hamilton, a young heir thrust into high-society youth adventure, as he learns that wealth brings not only comfort, but also responsibility, courage, and the opportunity to do right. This unabridged classic reprint stands as a shining example of juvenile adventure fiction from the progressive era, capturing the energy and optimism of a generation on the cusp of modernity. Garis, a master storyteller of the Stratemeyer Syndicate tradition, crafts a tale that will delight Tom Swift readers and fans of boys adventure novels alike. The story's blend of rich heir escapades, moral dilemmas, and lively camaraderie offers both middle grade readers and seasoned collectors a window into the dreams and dilemmas of a bygone age, while its themes of integrity and self-discovery remain timeless.
