Horatio Alger Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was an American author who wrote young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the “rags-to-riches” narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States from 1868 through to his death in 1899.

Strive and Succeed; or, The Progress of Walter Conrad (1872) was the fourth volume of the Luck and Pluck series.
