The life of Horatio Alger, Jr. is marked by his prolific writing career, particularly in boys' literature, which gained immense popularity. Born in Massachusetts and a Harvard alumnus, he briefly served as a Unitarian minister before scandal ended his clerical career. Relocating to New York City, he established himself as a professional writer, achieving notable success with "Ragged Dick," his fourth boys' book, which solidified his status in the literary world. Alger's works often reflect themes of perseverance and the American dream.
