Book Description:

Gilbert Patten made a career of generating serialized stories featuring his fictional creation Frank Merriwell, a student athlete who inspired others to emulate his example of manly boyhood. This study blends social and cultural history, with the history of business, gender, and sport, along with a general examination of childhood and youth in this fascinating study of how a fictional character was used to promote a homogeneous "normal" American boyhood.
