"Honarary Subscriber: Horace Greeley" "Go west young man and grow up with the country," I seem to remember him saying. I spent a late summer in New York City's "City Hall Park", under the large bronze statue of Horace Greeley, sitting in a small couch while excavating the skeletons of of the "First Almshouse" nearby, during a very active restoration of the park back in 1999. Then Mayor Rudy Giuliani had the State of Arkansas flag flown over City Hall, ordered while visiting in Arkansas, causing a law to be hastily passed to stop it ever happening again. Next to "him" is a monument to Joseph Pulitzer, both on the site of the first museum in NYC, and near "newspaper row" where once the presses ran to inform the metropolis. They cleaned his statue that summer too.
