John Marshall: A Life in Law 1974 1st Edition HC BOOK VG John Marshall: A Life In Law is a major biography - researched from thousands of unpublished papers - of the great American statesman whose life (1775 - 1853) spanned eighty critical, turbulent years in American history. We first meet John Marshall as a nineteen-year-old Virginia frontiersman urging the Minutemen to brighten their muskets; later, in the post-war years, Marshall emerges as a leader of the Richmond bar - perhaps the finest collection of lawyers in the nation's history. #johnmarshall#alifeinlaw#rarebooks#vintagebooks#bookstore
