Alger, Horatio Paul Prescott's Charge Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer and David Widger "Paul Prescott's Charge" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel aimed at young readers, likely written in the late 19th century. The book follows the story of a young boy named Paul Prescott, whose life takes a tragic turn upon the death of his father.

As we dive into Paul's world, we meet his mischievous friend Ben, who provides a lighthearted contrast to the serious themes of loss and responsibility. After the death of his father, Paul makes the courageous decision to run away and seek a better life, motivated by his father's wishes and the promise of adventure. Paul's journey begins as he leaves the oppressive environment of the Poor House, promising to confront the challenges ahead with determination and hope for the future.
