Greeley, Horace

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Greeley, Horace (1811-1872)

US editor, publisher, and politician. He founded the New York Tribune in 1841 and, as a strong supporter of the Whig party, advocated many reform causes in his newspaper - among them, feminism and abolitionism. He was an advocate of American westward expansion, and is remembered for his advice ‘Go west, young man, go west’. One of the founders of the Republican party in 1854, Greeley was the unsuccessful presidential candidate of the breakaway Liberal Republicans in 1872.

Born in Amherst, New Hampshire, Greeley was trained as a printer and moved to New York City in 1831. He worked on a variety of publications before founding the New York Tribune.
