Horace Greeley: Printer, Editor, Crusader is a biography of Horace Greeley, a prominent American journalist and political figure in the mid-19th century. Written by Henry Luther Stoddard, the book traces Greeley's life from his early years as a printer's apprentice to his rise as the founder and editor of the New York Tribune, one of the most influential newspapers of its time. Stoddard explores Greeley's role as a crusader for social reform, covering his advocacy for causes such as abolitionism, women's rights, and labor reform. The book also delves into Greeley's political career, including his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1872. Throughout the biography, Stoddard provides insights into Greeley's personality, including his eccentricities and contradictions. The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Greeley's own writings and correspondence, to paint a vivid portrait of this complex and fascinating figure in American history. Horace Greeley: Printer, Editor, Crusader is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important journalists and political figures of the 19th century, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American journalism and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
