Jr. Horatio Alger

1832–1899

Best known for fast-moving stories in which poor boys rise through grit, honesty, and a lucky break, this 19th-century writer helped fix the "rags-to-riches" idea in the American imagination. His books were hugely popular with young readers and remained part of American culture long after his lifetime.
