A simple record of a pleasant summer's residence at Chappaqua, embracing many facts and incidents. Cecilia Cleveland was niece of Horace Greeley, and it was Greeley's home in Chappaqua that provided the setting for this book. The book began as a series of private notes by Cleveland, intended to share what life with her famous uncle was like. In an introduction, she wrote that the book might be of interest to people who cared to know what Greeley's life was in private. The book was roundly criticized by some reviewers for being "gossipy" in nature. Horace Greeley (1811–1872) was an American newspaper editor, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party, a reformer, a politician, and an outspoken opponent of slavery. The New York Tribune (which he founded and edited) was America's most influential newspaper from the 1840s to the 1870s and "established Greeley's reputation as the greatest editor of his day." Greeley used it to promote the Whig and Republican parties, as well as opposition to slavery and a host of reforms ranging from vegetarianism to socialism. Crusading against the corruption of Ulysses S. Grant's Republican administration, he was the new Liberal Republican Party's candidate in the 1872 U.S. presidential election. Despite having the additional support of the Democratic Party, he lost in a landslide. He is the only presidential candidate to have died prior to the counting of electoral votes. Less
