About this book
ERIC ED623919: The Young Reporter: A Story of Printing House Square. Brain and Brawn Series
Author: ERIC
Year: 1895
This textbook is a young-adult adventure novel. Every American boy who reads the newspapers is interested in the methods and adventures of the reporters who gather news for the great dailies. They go everywhere, meet all the prominent people of the time, and are constantly in the front of everything that is interesting and exciting. In "The Young Reporter" the author describes the adventures of a young printer boy with a taste for newspaper work, who became a reporter for one of the great New York dailies when he was only 18. His introduction to the office by taking in an important piece of news, his early experience there, his trials and temptations, his adventures among the convicts in Sing Sing, his exciting search for the stolen body of a millionaire, his voyage to Mexico and the West Indies, his experience with bookmakers, who consider a reporter a person to be bribed, are all described to the life. Every adventure through which Dick Sumner is taken is an actual adventure--something that has really happened. From his first visit to the Transport office until his successful production of "The Through Sleeper," his experiences are as true to life as actual truth can make them. I
