Just as an aside, Horace Greeley’s ‘New-York Daily Tribune’ was a much more important paper in the run up to the CW.

Greeley was a founder of the Republican Party and published articles by Karl Marx for years.

I believe almost all of the CONVENIENT old newspaper archives (including the NYT) are subscription, but there are some on the web:

Wow, this is very interesting.

As a New Yorker, I always heard about Horace Greeley, but never much about the Tribune.

Will be looking through this over the Holiday.

Thanks , have a great Memorial Day weekend!
