From an obituary found on-line: Sueanne Schulze was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 14, 1922. She attended the University of Michigan and earned master's degrees in political science and library science. She became a professional archivist and government documents librarian, retiring from a tenured professorship at the University of Northern Colorado in 1989. She published the definitive works on the information available in 19th and 20th Century US censuses. She became a leading expert on Horace Greeley. She helped edit massive University of Michigan yearbooks, served on the Rhode Island board of the American Civil Liberties Union, was president of the Joint Legislative Council of Rhode Island, and was appointed by the Governor to the Rhode Island House of Representatives reapportionment commission. One of the most influential men in nineteenth-century America, Horace Greeley is remembered not only as the editor and publisher of the New York Tribune but also for his contribution to the profession of journalism, for his role in the nomination and election of presidential candidates; for his work toward a homestead law, and for the impact his voice had on the abolition of slavery. This bio-bibliography provides a useful guide to the literature on Greeley. Beginning with a brief chronology of Greeley's life and a biographical sketch, the book then provides annotated entries, arranged chronologically and divided into two major sections: works by Greeley and works about Greeley. The first section on Greeley's own work includes chapters on his books and other published materials, other sources of Greeley writings, newspaper and printing establishments associated with him, and articles in periodicals. The second section includes chapters on biographical works and memorials to Greeley, other books useful to the study of Greeley, reference works and other edited materials, articles in periodicals, theses, manuscript collections with Greeley material, and government documents. The book also includes author and subject indexes. A useful guide for scholars, the volume will also be of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about Greeley. Horace Greeley (February 3, 1811-November 29, 1872) was an American newspaper editor and publisher who was the founder and editor of the New-York Tribune. Long active in politics, he served briefly as a congressman from New York, and was the unsuccessful candidate of the new Liberal Republican Party in the 1872 presidential election against incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant, who won by a landslide. He wrote for or edited several publications, involved himself in Whig Party politics, and took a significant part in William Henry Harrison's successful 1840 presidential campaign. The following year, Greeley founded the Tribune, which became the highest-circulating newspaper in the country through weekly editions sent by mail. Among many other issues, he urged the settlement of the American Old West, which he saw as a land of opportunity for the young and the unemployed. He popularized the slogan "Go West, young man, and grow up with the country." He hired the best talent that he could find. In 1854, he helped found the Republican Party. Republican newspapers across the nation regularly reprinted his editorials. During the Civil War, he mostly supported President Abraham Lincoln but urged him to commit to the end of slavery before Lincoln was willing to do so. The Suzanne Schulze collection on Horace Greeley is held by the University of Northern Colorado Archives and Special Collections. The collection consists of materials gathered by Suzanne Schulze in her research on Horace Greeley. It includes...
