Horatio Alger
Author Horatio Alger's name is synonymous with the idea of the American dream—the notion that anyone can find affluence through dedication and hard work. The Young Explorer is the third volume of Alger's famed Pacific series, which recounts an ambitious young man's trek west to find gold—and his fortune.
Originally published in serialized form, Ragged Dick is the type of heartwarming young-adult novel for which Horatio Alger is well-known. The story follows the adventures of the eponymous Dick, a young shoe polisher who overcomes his low circumstances and rises through the ranks of society by dint of his diligence, persistence, and general good cheer.
