Horace Greeley (1811–1872) was an American newspaper editor whose New York Tribune was the country’s most influential periodical from the 1840s to the 1870s. James Parton’s biography of the legendary Greeley examines his life and the events that shaped him, “simply and solely because I liked the man, because I gloried in his career, because I thought the story of his life ought to be told.”
