Young Wild West Weekly: Among the Blackfeet

Catalog Note: Fame and Fortune Weekly, June 16, 1905 This issue of the weekly publication features a serialized story titled "A Lucky Deal; Or, The Cutest Boy in Wall Street," authored by R. E. (identity unclear from OCR). The narrative opens with the Hazard family in financial distress: recently widowed Mrs. Hazard and her daughter Annie discover that their rent money—fifteen dollars saved through sacrifice—has gone missing from their home. Annie, a delicate fifteen-year-old, supports the family through fine needlework. Their sixteen-year-old son Jack, the family's primary wage earner at five dollars weekly, has just lost his job due to his employer's business failure. The theft occurs as an agent awaits the overdue rent payment, intensifying their predicament. The serialized story focuses on the family's struggle against poverty and explores how this working-class household confronts mounting hardship. The cover illustration depicts a moment of desperation, with Annie apparently dancing or gesturing urgently as others observe.
