Horatio Alger, Jr. was an American author (1832-1899). Alger produced the one of the first boys' adventure series. Alger published over 118 novels in book form. Another 280 novels were produced in magazines along with more than five hundred short stories. From the many books Horatio Alger wrote, which included Young Book Agent, The; or, Frank Hardys Road to Success, his young heroes succeed through a mixture of pluck and luck. They are lucky, in part, because they deserve to be lucky. A given hero may appear in several books, e.g., "Ragged Dick," and Young Book Agent, The; or, Frank Hardys Road to Success, but the books do not have a common set of characters. Regardless of their names, the heroes are remarkably similar. Horatio Alger, Jr. was the oldest of five children of a debt-ridden New England, Unitarian minister. He was very frail. He was under weight and undersized, suffered from bronchial asthma, and near sightedness. Because of his poor health, the family deferred his introduction to the alphabet and reading until he was six years old. He started formal school at age 10 and achieved Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard. He was ranked eighth in a class of 89. He volunteered for the union army three times and was rejected three times because of his asthma and small size (just over five feet and about 120 pounds). Horatio Alger, Jr. taught school or tutored school children for a good part of his life. His most famous student is Benjamin Cardozo who went on to be a Supreme Court justice. Horatio Alger Junior wrote Young Book Agent, The; or, Frank Hardys Road to Success published by Stitt Publishing Company. Horatio Alger wrote mostly juvenile fiction: short stories, serialized novels, and novels. He also wrote biography, juvenile biography (James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, and Daniel Webster), and poetry. He did some serious writing for adult publications (essays), but he was not nearly as successful at that. Many books, which may include Young Book Agent, The; or, Frank Hardys Road to Success were sold after Alger's death and after the copyrights had expired so careful records were not kept.

The Horatio Alger "Strive and Succeed" philosophy consists of - hard work - study (informal rather than formal - loyalty to superiors and subordinates - abstaining from alcohol - frugal living - importance of dress and personal grooming - personal integrity - speaking and writing effectively - non-credal religious values (Unitarian) - avoidance of violence and revenge - speaking the whole truth - brotherhood of males (family without a mother) - obligation to help and protect the weak and unfortunate - duty to mother and/or sisters - courtesy to all - accepting the success of others - emphasis on a secure home - accept assistance of benefactors - expectation of own success, acceptance - eschew class hatred
