description: Frank Fowler leaves his small town home shortly after the death of the only mother he has ever known to make his fortune in New York.Excerpt from Frank Fowler, the Cash BoyA Group of boys were assembled in an open field to the west of the public school-house in the town of Crawford. Most of them held bats in their hands, while two, stationed sixty feet distant from each other, were "having a catch." It was easy to see that a common interest in the national game of base-ball had drawn them together. It was a holiday, and they proposed to spend it in playing their favorite game.But there was an extra interest attached to the present gathering. Tom Pinkerton, son of Deacon Pinkerton, had just returned from a visit to his mother's cousin in the city of Brooklyn, and while there had witnessed a match game between two professional clubs.
