Harvey Newcomb's earnest guide for boys on the making of a good man. He writes plainly about honesty, industry, self-control, and the daily habits that build strong character, in the confident moral voice of his era. Sincere and encouraging, it treats manhood as something to be grown with care. A wholesome period classic for young readers, and a nostalgic pleasure for anyone who values counsel aimed squarely at becoming better.
