Horace Greeley started the New York Tribune in 1841. He died in 1872, the year Whitelaw Reid assumed control of the paper. Under his son, Ogden Mills Reid, the paper merged with the New York Herald to form the New York Herald Tribune, which continued to be run by Ogden M. Reid until his death in 1947. Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox on 9 April 1865. The rest of the Confederate army surrendered during April and May 1865.
