His late manuscript Out of Business was partially ghostwritten at his insistence by his editor Edward Stratemeyer, and very early in his career he published under the pseudonyms "Carl Cantab" and "Charles F. Preston." Probably his most famous character outsmarts the bully Mickey Maguire and the thief Jim Travis, and saves the son of a wealthy industrialist James Rockwell. His correspondence with the sixteen year-old Joseph Dean may have inspired his story Frank's Campaign, and the poem Friar Anselmo's Sin may be an attempt to cope with the pressure that prompted him to leave his position as minister at First Unitarian Church in Boston. FTP, name this American author of Joe's Luck, Struggling Upward, Tattered Tom, and Ragged Dick.
