Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Claiborne of Virginia: With Some Account of His Pedigree Until now the biography of William Claiborne, the foremost genius of early Virginia, has never been fully written. Religious, political, and even family prejudices have tended hitherto to give us distorted pictures of his life and public services. Dr. Claiborne´s account of his distinguished ancestor´s career shuns fable and corrects tradition. It is much more than a well-told story. It is a loyal acknowledgment of the qualities of a man who figured in many strong and pathetic episodes during a period of dramatic unrest. If not the most conspicuous, Claiborne was beyond question the most powerful and influential, character in the days when the Old Dominion began its development, and throughout the stormy times which followed. His biographer makes his presentation with fidelity to a high ideal - the desire to offer no homage less pure or noble than the truth.
