Horace Greeley: Printer, Editor, Crusader is a biography written by Henry Luther Stoddard that delves into the life and legacy of one of America's most influential journalists of the 19th century. The book begins with Greeley's humble beginnings as a printer's apprentice in New Hampshire, and traces his journey to New York City, where he would eventually become the founder and editor of the New York Tribune, one of the most widely-read newspapers of the time.Stoddard paints a vivid portrait of Greeley as a passionate and tireless crusader for social justice, who used his platform as a journalist to advocate for causes such as abolition, women's suffrage, and labor reform. The book also explores Greeley's failed bid for the presidency in 1872, his complicated relationship with fellow journalist and political rival, Horatio Seymour, and his enduring influence on American journalism and politics.Throughout the book, Stoddard draws upon a wide range of primary sources, including Greeley's own writings and speeches, as well as letters and accounts from his contemporaries. The result is a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping American history, and whose legacy continues to resonate today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
