The
New-York Tribune
was an American newspaper, first established by Horace Greeley in 1841. Between 1842 and 1866, the newspaper bore the name
New-York Daily Tribune
.
From the 1840s through the 1860s it was the dominant Whig Party and then Republican newspaper in the U.S. During the first few months of the war, the paper's "on to Richmond" slogan pressured Union general Irvin McDowell into advancing on the Confederate capital of Richmond before his army was ready, resulting in the defeat at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861. After the failure of the Peninsular Campaign in the spring of 1862, the
Tribune
pressured President Abraham Lincoln into installing John Pope as commander of the Army of Virginia. During the 1863 Draft Riots a mob tried to burn down the
Tribune
building which lacked the Gatling guns of the nearby New York Times. The newspaper is uncut, with some light soiling, foxing and creases. Overall still a good newspaper. So much Civil War history in one paper.
