Beggar's Purse

During the course of Samuel Hopkins Adams' career as an investigative journalist, he exposed a number of frauds being perpetrated on the American public and came to be known as a champion for the rights of the people. As he transitioned into the domain of fiction, he continued to advocate for causes that were near and dear to his heart. In &quote;The Beggar's Purse,&quote; Adams makes a compelling -- and hilarious -- case for thriftiness and prudence in dealing with one's finances.
