John Marshall

Opis

Within eight years of the death of George Washington in 1799, the first major biography of the father of his country was written by John Marshall and published in five volumes. Marshall, who later became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was induced to the task by the first President's nephew, Bushrod Washington. Marshall's own biographer, Albert J. Beveridge, has described The Life of George Washington as the fullest and most trustworthy treatment of that period from the conservative point of view.
