Description
In this brisk, engaging exploration of 19th-century radical reformer and abolitionist Wendell Phillips, Peter Charles Hoffer makes the case that Phillips deserves credit as the nation’s first public interest lawyer, someone who led the antebellum crusade against slavery and championed First Amendment rights and equality for all Americans.
Peter Charles Hoffer is Distinguished Research Professor of History at the University of Georgia. He is the author or coauthor of nearly 40 books and numerous articles on early American history, legal history, and historical methods.
