Edwin Grozier
Edwin Atkins Grozier (September 12, 1859 – May 9, 1924) was an American journalist, publisher and author, who owned The Boston Post from 1891 until his death. He authored the book, "The Wreck of the 'Somerset,'" first published in the New York World, May 1886.
He graduated from Boston University in 1881, and worked at both the Boston Herald and The Boston Globe. He served as Governor George D. Robinson's private secretary, and later as private secretary to Joseph Pulitzer. He later became the first city editor of the New York Evening World, and later its editor-in-chief. He took over The Boston Post in October 1891.
Grozier was born at sea, as his father's ship approached the Golden Gate Bridge, near San Francisco. His father, Joshua Freeman, was a sea captain and native of Provincetown, Massachusetts; his mother, Mary Louise (Given), was a native of Bowdoinham.
He attended high school in Provincetown, and attended Chauncy Hall school of Boston. He studied at Brown University, (1877-1879) in Providence, Rhode Island, and graduated from Boston University in 1881, with a bachelor's degree in philosophy.
Grozier married Alice Goodell, native of Salem, Massachusetts, on November 26, 1885. They had two children, Richard (1837–1946) and Helen (b. 1889).
He was a member of numerous clubs and organizations, including the Algonquin Club of Boston, the Fellowcraft of New York, and the Belfry of Lexington.
Grozier began his career in journalism, as a reporter at the Boston Herald and The Boston Globe from 1881–1883. He then spent a year, serving as Governor George D. Robinson's private secretary (1883–1884). Grozier returned to the newsbusiness in 1885, as private secretary to Joseph Pulitzer, and later as city editor of the New York World, (1887) and managing editor of The Evening World and the Sunday World (1889–1891).
In October 1891, Grozier purchased controlling interest in The Boston Post, at a time when readership was low, with a circulation of less than 2500; the paper was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, in less than 25-years, Grozier grew the paper into the largest circulation morning newspaper in the country.
