OverviewJoseph Pulitzer was born in the village of Mako, near Buda Pesth in Hungary, on April 10, 1847. At the age of sixteen he emigrated to the United States. He landed without friends, without money, unable to speak a word of English. He enlisted immediately in the Cavalry. Within a year the Civil War ended, and Pulitzer found himself. At this time he was so poor that he was turned away from French's Hotel for lack of fifty cents with which to pay for his bed. In less than twenty years he bought French's Hotel, pulled it down, and erected in its place the Pulitzer Building, at that time one of the largest business buildings in New York, where he housed The World.
