Horace Greeley, Founder and Editor of The New York Tribune is a comprehensive biography of one of the most influential figures in American journalism. Written by William Alexander Linn, this book takes readers on a journey through the life and career of Horace Greeley, from his humble beginnings in rural New Hampshire to his rise as a prominent newspaper editor and political activist in New York City.Linn delves into Greeley's early years, describing his upbringing on a farm and his early interest in writing and journalism. He then follows Greeley's journey to New York City, where he eventually founded The New York Tribune, one of the most widely read and influential newspapers of its time. Linn provides a detailed account of Greeley's editorial philosophy and his efforts to use the Tribune as a platform for promoting social and political reform.Throughout the book, Linn also explores Greeley's involvement in politics, including his support for the Whig and Republican parties, his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1872, and his role as a vocal opponent of slavery and advocate for civil rights. The book also touches on Greeley's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his struggles with depression and illness.Overall, Horace Greeley, Founder and Editor of The New York Tribune is a fascinating and in-depth portrait of one of the most important figures in American journalism and politics.
