 Hungry for adventure, Pulitzer immigrated to the United States in 1864 from Hungary in order to serve in the American Civil War.  After the war, he moved to St. Louis, where he quickly rose in the ranks of the Republican Party, achieving the Missouri State Assembly in 1869.  After the futile election campaign of Horace Greeley for president, Pulitzer defected to the Democratic Party.  He was a brilliant journalist, single-handedly bringing about the merging of the ''St. Louis Post'' and the ''St. Louis Dispatch.''  The ''Post-Dispatch'' remains St. Louis' daily newspaper.
