Joel Tyler Headley (December 30, 1813 January 16, 1897) was an American clergyman, historian, author, newspaper editor and politician who served as Secretary of State of New York. He was born at Walton, New York to a Presbyterian clergyman father, and he determined to take up the same occupation. He graduated from Union College in 1839 and took a course in theology at the Auburn Theological Seminary in Auburn, New York. He turned to history writing in 1842, producing many works on various subjects. His writings were among the first to call attention to the Adirondack Mountains as a health resort, and his best known work is The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution. He later accepted the solicitations of Horace Greeley and became associate editor of the New York Tribune." From Wikipedia. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers blb01103
