Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Patrick Henry: Life, Correspondence and Speeches In preparing his sketch of Patrick Henry, William Wirt, his first biographer, admits that the materials he had been able to collect were "scantly and meagre, and utterly disproportionate to the great fame of Mr. Henry." The author of these volumes can make no such excuse for their deficiencies. He has had access to nearly all of the material used by Mr. Wirt, including most of the communications received from the contemporaries of Mr. Henry, which have been kindly furnished by Dr. William Wirt; and to a mass of matter which it was not the good fortune of Mr. Wirt to examine. A most important part of this additional matter consists of the private papers of Mr. Henry, left at Red Hill, which came into the possession of his youngest son, John Henry, the father of the author. To these, fortunately, has been added a considerable correspondence, gathered from different quarters, which, though far from being complete, throws a flood of light on Mr. Henry´s career, and is of great value in estimating the part he bore in the American Revolution, and the important period that followed it.
