Published in 1892 by the John C. Winston Co., "Digging for Gold" tells this story: overworked and underpaid by his miserly stepfather, sixteen-year-old Grant Colburn, a resourceful Iowa farm boy, travels 2,000 miles to seek his fortune in the gold mines of California.

Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many formulaic juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age.
