词汇 go west young man go west
词源
go west, young man, go west. In America go west came to stand for new life and hope instead of death (see go west) with the expansion of the frontier. There is some controversy about who said go west, young man first, however. Horace Greeley used the expression in an editorial in his New York Tribune: “Go west, young man, and grow with the country.” Later, as the phrase grew in popularity, Greeley said that his inspiration was John Babsone Lane Soule, who wrote “Go West, young man” in an 1851 article in the Terre Haute Ex- press. Greeley even reprinted Soule’s article from the Indiana newspaper to give credit where it was due, but several writers insisted that Greeley had given them identical advice before Soule had written the piece. William S. Verity said that the great editor had coined the expression a full year before Soule.
