K. Loring. It was the first volume in the six volume Ragged Dick Series, and became Algers all-time bestseller. The tale follows a poor boot blacks rise to middle class respectability in 19th-century New York City. It had a favorable reception. Student and Schoolmate reported their readers were delighted with the first installment and Putnams Magazine thought boys would love the novel. One modern scholar considers the story a "puerile fantasy" about class assimilation. The plot and theme were repeated virtually in toto in Algers subsequent novels and became the grist for parodists and satirists.
