"Go west, young man!" Well in this instance Mr. Horace Greeley came east and visited our own Hamilton Square to bolster the temperance movement which was trying to make Hamilton Square a dry town. Local history is filled with stories of the fight to keep liquor out of the rural town. The photo of Mr. Greeley was inserted along side of the article. There were no photos in the newspaper in 1871.
