John Marshall: Definer of a Nation Paperback - 1998

by Jean Edward Smith

  • Used
  • Paperback

It was in tolling the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835 that the Liberty Bell cracked, never to ring again. An apt symbol of the man who shaped both court and country, whose life "reads like an early history of the United States", as the "Wall Street Journal" noted, adding: Jean Edward Smith "does an excellent job of recounting the details of Marshall's life without missing the dramatic sweep of the history it encompassed". 32-page photo insert.
