Horatio Alger, Jr.
Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832–1899) was the author of more than 100 books for boys in the
second half of the nineteenth century that focused on the theme of success coming to
those who work hard to achieve it
. The son of a minister, Alger came from a prominent
Massachusetts family. He graduated with honors from Harvard in 1852 and graduated from
the Cambridge Divinity School eight years later. He served as a minister for a short time before
moving to New York City in 1866 to devote his time to writing inspirational books for boys.
In many of his books, he wrote about the poor and homeless children of the slums
of New York City, seeing them as unfortunate pawns of society who, if only given the
opportunity
, could improve their lot. A general plotline that he followed often was of a poor
boy who managed to achieve a respectable and successful life by working hard and taking
advantage of opportunities presented. Though his writing style was characterized by simplicity
and repetition, it was well received by his target audience; his books were enormously
popular
, selling millions of copies well into the first few decades of the twentieth century.

Read the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan’s speech on the night before the 1980 presidential election.

A popular novel of the '60s ended prophetically with its description of a "kindly, pleasant, greening land about to learn whether history still has a place for a nation so strangely composed of great ideals and uneasy compromise as she.”

That is really the question before us tonight: for the first time in our memory many Americans are asking: does history still have a place for America, for her people, for her great ideals? There are some who answer "no”; that our energy is spent, our days of greatness at an end, that a great national malaise is upon us.

They say we must cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw, that we must tell our children . . . not to dream as we once dreamed.

Last year I lost a friend who was more than a symbol of the Hollywood dream industry; to millions he was a symbol of our country itself. And when he died, the headlines seemed to convey all the doubt about America, all the nostalgia for a seemingly lost past.

"The Last American Hero,” said one headline; "Mr. America dies,” said another.

Well, I knew John Wayne well, and no one would have been angrier at being called the "last American hero.”

Just before his death, he said in his own blunt way, "Just give the American people a good cause, and there’s nothing they can’t lick.” Duke Wayne did not believe that our country was ready for the dust bin of history, and if we’ll just think about it we too will know it isn’t.
