Five Hundred Dollars; Or, Jacob Marlowe's Secret
1890
Five Hundred Dollars; Or, Jacob Marlowe's Secret is a novel by Horatio Alger, Jr., first published in 1890. The story follows Jacob Marlowe, an elderly man returning to his hometown of Lakeville after years in California, as he reconnects with family, particularly the struggling Barton family. The narrative explores themes of social class disparity, wealth, and personal integrity through the lives of characters like the hardworking Bert Barton. Alger's work reflects the 19th-century American ideals of rags-to-riches and the pursuit of the American Dream.
