Publisher’s Summary
Ragged Dick is the story of a young bootblack living and working in the streets of a post-Civil War New York City. It follows his rise from a street kid to the respectable middle class. The original publication, released as a six volume series, came to depict a time of post-war struggle through the eyes of its young victims, vagabond children. Originally written as young-adult moral tales using the classic rags-to-riches theme, Ragged Dick is also Algers’ timeless snapshot into an all but forgotten period in American history, and the ever relevant struggle for economic and social status.
Horatio Alger was born on January 13, 1834 in Chelsea, Massachusettes. Alger began writing in earnest and being a published author at the age of 17. After graduating from Harvard, Alger obtained a position in ministry in a Unitarian Church, but was dismissed on scandalous and incriminating charges. Around 1866, Alger moved to New York, a time that marked the beginning of a very successful writing career. Around this time, the Ragged Dick series was being published as a serial, and in 1868 it was published as a complete novel. In New York City, Alger took a special and personal interest in the street children and became a frequent visitor to their popular haunts. Perhaps this is what gave him a clear insight into their trials and tribulations and aided in creating the simple yet timeless story of Ragged Dick. Eventually, Alger took two street children into his home and informally adopted them.

Can someone tell me if this really is ‘Gay,LGBT’ because I’m not interested in this book if it is.
I read in the forum that a book can be classified into two main categories and one sub category. But why Gay/LGBT if it isn’t Gay/LGBT? I tend to gloss right over a title if it describes any of that kind of category.
So rather than potentially waste bandwidth, could someone or the uploader kindly clarify this one way or the other? Thanks in advance.

How did this post twice? All I did was try to correct a grammatical error. Sorry for the double post.

Yeah, I turns out that there may be no LGBT-related stuff here. The title threw me off. But I expect people will do their own research anyway:

Yeah (smiling) I did look it up last evening and decided to download it. What threw me was the LGBT designation.
Thanks for the share! :)

@userabuser
Since you now know that this is the wrong category, you can simply edit the description of your torrent to correct it.
And this one:
https://fictionaudio.com/audio-books/laton-mccartney-the-teapot-dome-scandal-how-big-oil-bought-the-harding-white-house-and-tried-to-steal-the-country/
is certainly not “Doctor Who”.
or this:
https://fictionaudio.com/audio-books/nicholas-humphrey-seeing-red-a-study-in-consciousness/
Nicholas Humphrey - Seeing Red: A Study in Consciousness
Category: Lesbian, Science, Suspense ??????
If you don’t know what category, just put nothing is better than choosing random ones and screwing up searching.

PS:
to correct a torrent description, go to your list of uploads:

then click the “modify” icon (pencil in box) after the name.

Sounds like too much work. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. If the admins want to do it I won’t complain.
