The life of Horatio Alger, Jr. is marked by a dramatic shift from a brief career as a Unitarian minister to becoming a renowned author of boys' literature. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Harvard, his writing career took off with "Ragged Dick," which solidified his popularity. Despite facing serious allegations that ended his clerical career, Alger's legacy lies in his prolific output of over 100 boys' books, which captured the imaginations of young readers in the late 19th century.
