• The Green-Wood Historic Fund proudly presents Robert C. Williams, author of the
  just-published and widely praised Horace Greeley: Champion of American Freedom.
  
  This book is the first comprehensive biography of Horace Greeley to be published in the last half century. It examines the many facets of Horace Greeley, one of the giants of 19th-century America. Gadfly and
  opinion-maker, Greeley was a controversial figure who championed diverse and often unpopular causes. Running against Ulysses S. Grant for president in 1872, Greeley was soundly beaten and died just a few weeks later.
  
  The author?s presentation will be followed by a walk, led by Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman and author Robert C. Williams, to Horace Greeley?s grave.

The Green-Wood Cemetery: Main entrance is located at 500 25th Street (on 5th Avenue) in Brooklyn. Via subway, take the R to the 25th Street station. For more info, call 718.768.7300 or
