Horace Greeley, American Newspaper Editor

Horace Greeley (1811-1872) was an American newspaper editor, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party, a reformer, a politician, and an outspoken opponent of slavery. The New York Tribune (which he founded and edited) was America's most influential newspaper from the 1840's to the 1870's and established Greeley's reputation as one of the greatest editors of his day. He was noted for his eccentricities. His attire in even the hottest weather included a full-length coat, and he was never without an umbrella. Photographed by Napoleon Sarony in 1869.
