Description
Beyond Washington and Jefferson: Ranking the Founders.
Even as Americans devour books about our Founding Fathers, the focus seldom extends past a half dozen or so iconsFranklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton. Many of the men (and women) who made prodigious contributions to the American founding have been all but forgotten. Americas Forgotten Founders corrects this injustice. Editors Gary L. Gregg II and Mark David Hall surveyed forty-five top scholars in history, political science, and law to produce the first-ever ranking of the most neglected contributors to the American Revolution and our constitutional order. This unique book features engaging short biographies of the top ten most important Founders whose contributions are overlooked today: James Wilson, George Mason, Gouverneur Morris, John Jay, Roger Sherman, John Marshall, John Dickinson, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, and John Witherspoon.
Part of the Lives of the Founders series, Americas Forgotten Founders reshapes our understanding of Americas founding generation.
