The Rag-Picker: Or Bound And Free is a novel written by George P. Burnham and published in 1855. The story follows the life of a young boy named Tim, who is forced to work as a rag-picker in the streets of New York City to support himself and his sick mother. Despite his difficult circumstances, Tim remains optimistic and determined to make a better life for himself. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters, including a wealthy businessman who takes an interest in his well-being, and a group of street urchins who become his friends. The novel explores themes of poverty, social class, and the resilience of the human spirit. It also offers a glimpse into life in mid-19th century America, with vivid descriptions of the bustling city streets and the struggles of the working class. Overall, The Rag-Picker is a moving and inspiring tale of one boy's journey from poverty to freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
