The life of Horatio Alger, Jr. is marked by his transition from a Unitarian minister to a prolific writer of boys' literature, with over 100 popular titles to his name. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Harvard, his career in the church ended abruptly due to serious allegations. Relocating to New York City, he found success with "Ragged Dick" in 1868, establishing his reputation in the literary world. Alger's works often reflect themes of perseverance and the American dream, resonating with young readers of his time.
