Horace Greeley (3 February 1811 - 29 November 1872) founded the New York Tribune. He was a life-long abolitionist and erratic politician who believed in the virtues of an active, outdoor life full of fresh air and exercise, hence his famous saying “Go West, young man. Go West” - he believed that settling the newly-opened frontier was full of potential for those willing to put in the hard work to make it happen. But he also deeply understood the travails of writers: “I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors.” Even thought he’s been dead for over 150 years, he’s got some great advice for writers.
