Publisher's Synopsis
"NELSON THE NEWSBOY" relates the adventures of a wide-awake lad in the great metropolis. The youth is of unknown parentage and is thrown out upon his own resources at a tender age. He becomes at first a newsboy, and from that gradually works up to something better. He is often tempted to do wrong-the temptation becoming particularly hard on account of his extreme poverty-but there is that in his make-up which keeps him in the right path, and in the end he becomes a victor in more ways than one.
