For the rest of his life, Greeley used his position as editor of the New York Tribune and occasional politician to promote his agrarian utopian ideology. Cross examines here Greeley's efforts in favor of four important factors in westward expansion: the promotion of agriculture and the establishment of Land Grant colleges, the struggle to pass the land reform and homestead acts, the restriction of slavery from the western territories, and the building of the transcontinental railroads. A final chapter examines Greeley's role in the utopian Union Colony that later became Greeley, Colorado. This is an important study of the leading proponent of one of the most enduring American cultural myths.
