Marx wrote 350(!) articles while on the payroll of Greeley’s New York Tribune, which was the leading newspaper of its time (like the NYT in recent decades). He only started writing for a Vienna newspaper about a year before the NY Tribune stopped publishing him.

I had no idea that Marx was that involved with the American Left, at the time. Thought he was a pen pal of Thad Stevens, but 350 articles on Greeley's payroll!
