Upward and Onward: Or The History of Robert Merritt is a novel written by Lucy Ellen Guernsey and published in 1855. The book tells the story of Robert Merritt, a young man who sets out to make a name for himself in the world. Born into poverty, Robert is determined to rise above his circumstances and become successful. The novel follows Robert as he navigates the challenges of life, including poverty, illness, and betrayal. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters who both help and hinder his progress. Despite the obstacles he faces, Robert remains steadfast in his determination to succeed. Upward and Onward is a classic rags-to-riches story that explores themes of perseverance, ambition, and the American dream. The book offers a glimpse into the social and economic realities of mid-19th century America, and is a testament to the power of hard work and determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
