Ebook About On the American stages of politics and journalism in the mid-nineteenth century, few men were more influential than Abraham Lincoln and his sometime adversary, sometime ally, New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley. In this compelling new volume, author Gregory A. Borchard explores the intricate relationship between these two vibrant figures, both titans of the press during one of the most tumultuous political eras in American history. Packed with insightful analysis and painstaking research, Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley offers a fresh perspective on these luminaries and their legacies.Borchard begins with an overview of the lives of both Lincoln and Greeley, delving particularly into their mutual belief in Henry Clay’s much-debated American System, and investigating the myriad similarities between the two political giants, including their comparable paths to power and their statuses as self-made men, their reputations as committed reformers, and their shared dedication to social order and developing a national infrastructure. Also detailed are Lincoln’s and Greeley’s personal quests to end slavery in the United States, as well as their staunch support of free-soil homesteads in the West. Yet despite their ability to work together productively, both men periodically found themselves on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Their by turns harmonious and antagonistic relationship often played out on the front pages of Greeley’s influential newspaper, the New York Tribune. Drawing upon historical gems from the Tribune, as well as the personal papers of both Lincoln and Greeley, Borchard explores in depth the impact the two men had on their times and on each other, and how, as Lincoln’s and Greeley’s paths often crossed—and sometimes diverged—they personified the complexities, virtues, contradictions, and faults of their eras. Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley goes beyond tracing each man’s personal and political evolution to offer a new perspective on the history-changing events of the times, including the decline of the Whig Party and the rise of the Republicans, the drive to extend American borders into the West; and the bloody years of the Civil War. Borchard finishes with reflections on the deaths of Lincoln and Greeley and how the two men have been remembered by subsequent generations. Sure to become an essential volume in the annals of political history and journalism, Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley is a compelling testament to the indelible mark these men left on both their contemporaries and the face of America’s future.Book Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley (Concise Lincoln Library) Review :
Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley are both fascinating characters, so it is an accomplishment to have written a dull book about them. Thankfully, it is short. Part of the reason that it is dull is that it is poorly written, with sloppy word choices, verbiage, and too many sentences that are empty in the sense that they convey no information. For two quick examples of verbiage, we have “indicative of” (p. 53) instead of “indicating,” and the Lincoln-Douglas debates “represented some of the most highly anticipated and well-attended demonstrations of the type” (p. 54) instead of the Lincoln-Douglas debates “were highly anticipated and well-attended.” Here are examples of some of the empty sentences and other poor writing:“[E]ach man will continue to have an audience as long as readers and writers find their words an indelible part of our shared lives.” (p. 4)“The complexities of the system that had emerged in the 1830s included campaigns for local and national offices, along with recognizably modern techniques (many of which are still popular today) that included wide use of the media to reach an increasingly democratized electorate.” (pp. 9-10)Clay “had himself owned slaves….” (p. 11) This refers to a time when Clay was alive. But he didn’t free his slaves except in his will, so he owned slaves, not “had” owned slaves.“Greeley called for the chance for each man to earn the fruits of his labor, reasoning that the protection of lands in the West provided the working class this opportunity.” (p. 12) What does “protection” mean here? It's not the right word.“Lincoln, too, had entertained the possibility of recolonization as a solution to the slavery issue.” (p. 13). “Recolonization” should be “colonization.”“In the estimations of both Lincoln and Greeley, Clay’s personality transcended Clay the individual, who by 1844 represented a way of thinking about the United States that could allow citizens to improve individual lives.” (p. 24) What does it mean for a personality to transcend an individual? How does a person represent a way of thinking? Allow citizens to improve whose individual lives?“Greeley championed efforts … to allow any citizen to own 160 acres of the new territories in the West, demonstrated in the land reform bill he introduced to the Committee Public Lands.” (p. 34) Demonstrated? I think that the sentence means, “Greeley championed efforts … to allow any citizen to own 160 acres of the new territories in the West, by introducing a land reform bill to the Committee Public Lands.”“[Zachary] Taylor’s death was the next in a series of Whig misfortunes that would climax two years later [in 1852] with the loss of nominee Winfield Scott as the party’s final presidential candidate.” (p. 41) Does “loss” mean death or loss of the election? I looked it up; it’s the latter.Among Greeley’s most astute reflections, “not only on [Henry] Clay’s career but also on the condition of national affairs,” were that everyone was “either with him or against him, idolizing or detesting him.” (p. 42)“Lincoln also delivered a powerful eulogy to Clay, emphasizing in spoken words the devotion to liberty of the Kentuckian …” (p. 42) To deliver a eulogy means to speak it.“simply hoping for an end to the near-constant bloodshed became as much of a struggle as the war itself.” (p. 80) Really?Uncritically quoting a 19th-century biographer of Greeley: “he ceased to be a workingman with workingmen, only to become a workingman for workingmen.” (pp. 98-99)“Greeley worked … to ensure that every individual American had the opportunity to express his or her voice in his Tribune….” (p. 101) Every individual American? What does that mean? That Greeley published lots of letters to the editor, but not if signed by more than one person?Borchard writes that Albert Beveridge, in his 1928 biography of Lincoln, suggested “it was the radicals in the North, not secessionists, who had killed compromise. In Beveridge’s estimation, it was the abolitionists, and not the southern fire-eaters as traditionally portrayed, who destroyed the compromise efforts….” (p. 108) Apart from the redundancy, “as traditionally portrayed” apparently should be after “and not,” because it appears to have been meant to refer to the opinion as to who killed the compromise, and not to the southern fire-eaters. In August 1862 there was an amazing exchange of letters between Horace Greeley, the editor of the New York Tribune, and Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. These letters were not exchanged through the mail, but rather in the pages of the country's newspapers. In an open letter to Lincoln, published under the heading "The Prayer of Twenty Millions," Greeley demanded that Lincoln ungrudgingly execute the Confiscation Act, thereby giving freedom to the slaves of the Rebels. A few days later Lincoln famously replied, " If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."Greeley is too often pushed aside in many books written about Lincoln, but the relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley is a long and complicated one. Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley, by Gregory A. Borchard, a volume in Southern Illinois University Press' Concise Lincoln Library, uncovers the tangled history of these two men.Lincoln and Greeley were more alike than they were different. Mr. Borchard's linear narrative traces the parallel lives of these two men; both grew up in poverty, were self-made men, and were ultimately successful in their chosen fields of politics and journalism. Both men favored the limitation and eventual abolition of slavery.Though geographically separated, Greeley & Lincoln's lives frequently intersected. Both were members of the Whig party who served together in the House of Representatives during the 30th Congress of the United Sates, and both eventually became Republicans. Greeley, who broke ranks with his former political allies, Thurlow Weed and William H. Seward, was a delegate to the 1860 Republican National Convention and supported Lincoln over Seward for the party's nomination.Mr. Borchard also traces the divergence of the lives of Lincoln and Greeley once Lincoln became the President. Often antagonistic, Greeley used the power of his pen to try to goad Lincoln into action, while Lincoln steadfastly led the nation through four years of civil war.Abraham Lincoln and Horace Greeley is a well researched book written in an easily read style, and covers the relationship between these two men in a depth not found in other works about Lincoln.Mr. Borchard, an associate professor of mass communication and journalism in the Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is the coauthor of Journalism in the Civil War Era and has published journal articles focusing on the nineteenth-century press.
