Excerpt from Frank Merriwell's Power: A Story for Boys Dade Morgan sat alone in his room. The moon rode high over the trees of the campus and the green, and the soft night wind, odorous of the sea, brought to his ears sounds of singing and laughter. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores were making merry about the famous college fence. Some juniors strolling along the pavement beneath his window sent up this snatch of song: "Wrap me up in my tarpaulin jacket And say, 'A poor duffer lies low!'" From a sentimental trio at the fence floated the words of another song much sung by Yale men: "Nut-brown maiden, thou hast a bright blue eye for love! Nut-brown maiden, thou hast a bright blue eye! A bright blue eye is thine, love; The glance in it is mine, love; Nut-brown maiden, thou hast a bright blue eye." "Light heads!" Dade muttered. "But light heads are easily handled."

Gilbert Patten, writing as Burt L. Standish, made a career of generating serialized twenty-thousand-word stories featuring his fictional creation Frank Merriwell, a student athlete at Yale University who inspired others to emulate his example of manly boyhood. Patten and his publisher, Street and Smith, initially had only a general idea about what would constitute Merriwell’s adventures and who would want to read about them when they introduced the hero in the dime novel Tip Top Weekly in 1896, but over the years what took shape was a story line that capitalized on middle-class fears about the insidious influence of modern life on the nation’s boys. Merriwell came to symbolize the Progressive Era debate about how sport and school made boys into men. The saga featured the attractive Merriwell distinguishing between “good” and “bad” girls and focused on his squeaky-clean adventures in physical development and mentorship. By the serial’s conclusion, Merriwell had opened a school for “weak and wayward boys” that made him into a figure who taught readers how to approximate his example. In Frank Merriwell and the Fiction of All-American Boyhood, Anderson treats Tip Top Weekly as a historical artifact, supplementing his reading of its text, illustrations, reader letters, and advertisements with his use of editorial correspondence, memoirs, trade journals, and legal documents. Anderson blends social and cultural history, with the history of business, gender, and sport, along with a general examination of childhood and youth in this fascinating study of how a fictional character was used to promote a homogeneous “normal” American boyhood rooted in an assumed pecking order of class, race, and gender.
