1. Charles Carroll Of Carrollton
A concise biography of Charles Carroll of Carrollton that traces his journey from wealthy Maryland planter and scion of a prominent Catholic family to a leading figure in the American Revolution and the early republic; the book examines his education in Europe, role in colonial resistance and as a signer of the Declaration of Independence, his advocacy for religious liberty and property rights, his Federalist politics and long public life, and the moral and historical tensions of his legacy as both a champion of republican ideals and a slaveholder in a changing nation.
