  Forced out of office in 1866 after allegations of misconduct with local boys, he took up writing in that year. I wrote over a hundred books after Ragged Dick (1868), most of them about poor children's journey from poverty to respectable middle class (all of them, however, looked like success through good luck). His work is a little weak in plot and dialogue, but it has sold more than 20 million copies. Alger is arguably one of the most popular and socially influential writers of the late 19th century

  ​Everyone Can Get Ahead is a book published by Harbin Press in 2011 and written by Orrison Madden. This book is mainly to inspire people who are fighting, telling us that if we work hard, sooner or later we will succeed, and we don't have to give up.

  ​He was born at Revere, Mass., January 18, 1884.

  He was the son of a clergyman; was graduated at Harvard College in 1852, and at its Divinity School in 1860; and was pastor of the Unitarian Church at Brewster, Mass., in 1862-66.

  In the latter year he settled in New York and began drawing public attention to the condition and needs of street boys. He mingled with them, gained their confidence, showed a personal concern in their affairs, and stimulated them to honest and useful living.

  With his first story he won the hearts of all red-blooded boys every-where, and of the seventy or more that followed over a million copies were sold during the author's lifetime.
