“How many copies do you want printed, Mr. Greeley?”

  “Five thousand!” The answer was snapped back without hesitation.

  “But, sir,” the press foreman protested, “we have subscriptions for only five hundred newspapers.”

  “We’ll sell them or give them away.”

  The presses started rolling, sending a thundering noise out over the sleeping streets of New York City.?The New York Tribune?was born.

Young Horace’s only boyhood fun was reading—when he could snatch a few moments during a long working day.

  The printed word always fascinated Horace. When he was only ten years old, he applied for a job as an apprentice in a printing shop. But he didn’t get the job because he was too young.

  The editor looked at the oddly dressed boy. Finally he said, “You’ve got the job, son.”

  For the first six months, room and board would be the only pay for his work. After that, he would get room and board and forty dollars a year.

  Horace hurried home to shout the good news to his family. When he got there, he learned that his family was about to move again—
