I will add here very quickly that Greeley himself abstained from meat for only a very short period of time while living in a Graham boarding house in NYC (though his wife remained committed to the cause). Most interestingly, however, he remained an active supporter of vegetarianism in its various early iterations despite his own preference for rare, red meat.

Interestingly, vegetarianism was quite popular in America during the late 19th century, when it was primarily promoted as a path to vigorous health and personal success in the changing economy. Historian Adam Shprintzen wrote a fascinating dissertation on American vegetarianism from 1817 to the early 20th century. I hope to see it in book form soon. Good post.
