Lot 91
Greeley, Horace (1811-72) Editor, reformer, politician. His newspaper, The New York Tribune, was the most influential U.S. newspaper from the 1840s to the 1870s. In 1872, Greeley was the Liberal Republican Party's presidential candidate; he lost in a landslide and died before the electoral votes were counted.
Autograph note signed on a 2½ x 3½" card, n.p. Greeley gives a bried autobiographical sketch of himself: "Horace Greeley, born at Amherst, N.H. Feb. 3, 1811. came to New York…1831. established New Yorker Nov. 22, '34 and Tribune, Aril 10, 1841." Written in Greeley's usual sloppy penmanship, with a few ink blots. Penciled note on verso, "Rec'd 1864." Very good.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
