Review:
This collection consists primarily of correspondence sent by Horace Greeley. Many of the letters in this collection concern political affairs. In particular, the letters with British correspondent, Thomas Alsop, between 1861 and 1866 in which Greeley discusses the progress of the Civil War, its effect on the relationship between the United States and Great Britain, and the importance of the struggle to emancipate the slaves. Also of note are two letters addressed to Mr. Jackson in 1871 in which Greeley expresses dismay at the corruption in the Grant administration and reconstruction policies of the Republican Party. In addition to letters this collection contains a caricature done by Thomas Nast that originally appeared in "Vanity Fair" (July 20, 1872), photographs, and notes and draft of a lecture on temperance.
