The Young Adventurer; or, Tom’s Trip Across the Plains by Horatio Alger, Jr. Published by A. L. Burt Company, New York The title page confirms the A. L. Burt edition. The inscription reads: “To Roy from Aunt Martha April 26, 1909” So the book itself is older than that 1909 gift date; 1909 is the documented ownership/gift date, not necessarily the publication date. The cloth-covered boards, illustrated/color pictorial cover, gilt spine details, and early-20th-century typography are all great vintage-book features. ⭐ Biggest selling points * Horatio Alger, Jr. — classic American juvenile/adventure author * A.
