Jr. Horatio Alger

1832–1899

Best known for popularizing the classic "rags-to-riches" tale, this 19th-century American writer shaped generations of stories about ambition, luck, and perseverance. His books, especially tales like Ragged Dick, helped turn streetwise young heroes into enduring figures in American fiction.
