PREFACE

In the title of this book, "Frank's Campaign," Horatio Alger, Jr., gives us not only the name of the hero of the book but an idea of the character of the work. The word campaign is associated with war times.

We all know that war always brings many hardships and trials and our author pictures to us a boy, who, though he does not go to war, has many battles to fight, and obstacles to overcome.

He takes his father's place while the latter is absent in his country's service, and is enabled by fortunate circumstances, to pay off a mortgage on the home farm.

This story leads us to see that one may be a hero without being on the battle field.
