“Go west, young man,” expression used in an editorial by Horace Greeley in the New York
Tribune, and erroneously attributed to him. It was first used by John Babsone Lane Soule (1815–91) in an article in the Terre Haute
Express (1851), and expressed the spirit of manifest destiny, exhorting young men to grow up with the country by taking advantage of opportunities in the unsettled West.
