<p> In Mr. Williams' hands, Greeley comes through as a warm-hearted eccentric whose influence was greater than that of any editor today. <br>- Washington Times ,

Williams's work is an essential one for those wanting to understand the social and political climate in the United States during the time between some have called the two American revolutions- ones that was fought for liberty and one that was pursued for freedom. - Civil War Book Review , In Mr. Williams' hands, Greeley comes through as a warm-hearted eccentric whose influence was greater than that of any editor today. - Washington Times , Williams gives a straightforward account . . . [and] argues that Greeley unswervingly devoted himself to a single ideal--American freedom--and was, in turn, crucial to its development. - The New Yorker , A splendid telling of a story that couldn't be more timely now that we are in another difficult and controversial war. - The Wall Street Journal , From James Patron's 1855 Life of Horace Greeley through Greeley's 1868 autobiography Recollections of a Busy Life , and down to the present, dozens of voices have told the story and legend of Horace Greeley. Williams's rich and well-presented account of his ideological and political legacy is a welcome addition to that chorus. It is certainly worth hearing. - The Journal of American History ,
