William Paterson

Opis

A man of remarkable achievement in both the law and in politics, William Paterson's letters provide insight into pre-Revolutionary War America, with specific commentary on his social circle and life at The College of New Jersey (later Princeton College). Paterson's letters, often dated New Bromley, NJ, give insight into the thoughts and mores of the man who went on to become Attorney-general of New Jersey during the Revolution, a framer of the Federal Constitution, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, then Governor of the state, and, at the time of his death, an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
