Horatio Alger Jr. wote 130 dime novels described as rags-to-riches stories, how poor boys could achieve the American dream of wealth and success through hard work, courage, determination, and concern for others.
He turned to writing after being dismissed as minister(pastor) of First Parish Brewster on Cape Cod. He was canned, according to the church records, by the church board for "unnatural familiarity with boys" in 1866. Same old, same old.
