Book Description

Excerpt from The Cub Reporter But his dead grandmother was not the one who worried him most. Over on the outskirts of Brooklyn, in the quaint old homestead where he was born, were his mother and four sisters. Very proud they were of him; very confident that some day he would be a great writer. Of course this newspaper work was to be only the beginning. Unhappily, the family estate was depleted, and at present there was no hope of college. None of his sisters were old enough to be wage earners, and his father had left them little except the homestead. The boy's salary, meager as it was, helped immensely.
