		Although Dick Hunter, the principal character in Alger's Ragged Dick (1867),(5) is a thoroughly urban figure (a bootfl in lower Manhattan), his circumstances at the beginning of the novel resemble those of Huckleberry Finn in the concluding chapters of Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876).

		Most of Alger's novels were out of print by 1926; by 1932, Alger was frequently labeled as a "forgotten" or "extinct" writer who had been admired by past generations (Scharnhorst and Bales 149).

	Random House Publishing Group \| Ragged Dick by Horatio Alger, Jr.
		Written to inspire schoolboys to strive for “honesty, industry, frugality, and a worthy ambition,” the novels of Horatio Alger (1832—99) are infused with great humanity, broad humor, and a surprisingly sophisticated view of Gilded Age propriety.
		Central to Alger’s philosophy is the notion that heroes like Ragged Dick, a poor boot-fl, manage to get ahead by dint of hard work, resourcefulness, luck, pluck, and fair play.
		Alger’s upwardly mobile heroes have become paragons of middle-class comfort and moral standing, and their journeys from rags to respectability have long been viewed as the very embodiment of the American Dream.
