HENRY GRADY (1850 - 1889)

Henry Grady was born in Athens, Georgia, where his father died in 1864 as a 
result of wounds he received while fighting for the Confederate forces. Grady 
graduated from the University of Georgia in 1868 and subsequently studied law 
at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He later served as associate 
editor of The Rome Courier and editor of The Rome Commercial. His career in 
journalism in Georgia continued when he became a part owner of The Atlanta 
Daily Herald, which was forced to close down in 1876. With the help of Cyrus 
Field, he became part owner of The Atlanta Constitution. Grady never ceased to 
speak out on behalf of a New South that would profit from advances in 
agriculture, industry, and education. "The New South" was delivered before the 
New England Society in New York City on December 21,1886; the speech is taken 
from The Complete Orations and Speeches of Henry W. Grady, edited by Edwin 
DuBois Shurter (1910).
