Horatio Alger Jr. was an American author born on January 13, 1832, in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He is best known for his rags-to-riches novels, focusing on themes of perseverance, hard work, and rising from poverty to success. After graduating from Harvard University and attending Harvard Divinity School, Alger wrote stories centered around young boys who, through integrity and effort, overcame adversity and reached middle-class comfort. His most famous work, Ragged Dick, became iconic in the genre of juvenile fiction. Although his works fell out of favor in the 20th century, they were immensely popular during his lifetime and continue to influence children's literature. Alger passed away on July 18, 1899.
