In this 1868 autobiography, Greeley—perhaps the most influential American journalist of the 19th century—recounts the events of a life filled with drama and controversy. As editor of the antislavery New York Tribune, Greeley had a pulpit from which he railed with passion and eloquence before and during the Civil War.
