Return to the The Novels of Horatio Alger, Jr. Main Page of The Cinderella Bibliography at the University of Rochester Biographies: The Lives of Horatio Alger, Jr. The most trying aspect of studying the life of Horatio Alger is that the majority of his earliest biographies are at worst total fiction, and at best, relatively innocent borrowings from the worst. The difficulties facing the biographers are clear, and one can sympathize with such authors; for upon Alger's death in 1899, his sister Augusta, in accordance with his will, destroyed Alger's diary and all personal correspondence. Despite the dearth of primary information, several writers have tried in the century since his death to write the authoritative Alger biography, relying on fabrication inplace of exhaustive research. Thus, Alger's true life has remained an enigma. In fact, the history of the Alger biography nearly takes precedence over the man himself. The initial perpetrator to this century of misrepresentation is Herbert Mayes, who in 1927 was contracted to write the first full biography of the author. After a few days of research, in which a lack of evidence and many close-lipped contemporaries of Alger confounded Mayes, he decided to write instead a parody of Alger that would resemble the tell-all scandal biographies of the time. As Mayes himself confessed later: "Here was a project that with scant trouble that I felt I could handle in a matter of months or even weeks. All I had to do was come up with a fairy tale...the going was easy, particularly when I decided to quote copiously from Alger's diary. If Alger ever kept a diary, I knew nothing about it" (Mayes' commentary is drawn from "After Half a Century," an introduction to a reissue of his biography

The Horatio Alger Collection / Horatio Alger, Jr. Collection Information Horatio Alger, Jr. Print Sources Internet Sources Dash to DeKalb II Go to: List of Collections NIU Libraries Horatio Alger, Jr. On January 13, 1832, Horatio Alger, Jr. was born in Chelsea (now Revere), Massachusetts. His father, Reverend Horatio Alger, was a Unitarian minister at the First Congregational Church and Society at Chelsea. Alger's mother, Olive (Fenno) Alger, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant and landowner. Surprisingly, given his future career as writer, Alger did not learn the alphabet until the age of six and did not begin his formal education until, by his account, the age of ten. His early education was conducted at home, under the irregular direction of his father, and consisted of algebra and Latin, this despite his obvious deficiency in English. Because Alger did not attend school and his father was preoccupied with church business, Alger had a great deal of free-time. This time was filled with reading "whatever came in my way," and included both educational and entertaining works. In December of 1844, Alger's parents moved to Marlborough, a town situated in the rolling hills between Boston and Worcester. Alger attended Gates Academy for the next three years, preparing for college. Alger noted in his Class Book that the tastes of the superintendent, Obadiah Wheelock Albee, "inclined him rather to mathematics and physical sciences than to the classics." Alger believed this balanced his education and forced him to devote more of his time to these subjects. Alger completed his studies at Gates Academy in 1847 at the age of fifteen.
