Download or read book A Son of Thunder written by Henry Mayer and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth biography of the iconic American revolutionary that “helps us understand the significance of Henry’s enduring image” (The New York Times Book Review). Patrick Henry was a charismatic orator whose devotion to the pursuit of liberty fueled the fire of the American Revolution and laid the groundwork for the United States. As a lawyer and a member of the Virginia House of Burgess, Henry championed the inalienable rights with which all men are born. His philosophy inspired the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and, most significantly, the Bill of Rights. Famous for the line “Give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry was a man who stirred souls and whose dedication to individual liberty became the voice for thousands. In A Son of Thunder, Henry Mayer offers “a biography as [Patrick] Henry himself would have wanted it written—a readable style, informal, engaging, and entertaining” (Southern Historian). “This is history and biography at its best.” —Charleston Evening Post “A fine job of placing Henry’s idea of republican rectitude in context without ignoring the many ironies of his life as a mediator between the yeomanry and the elite.” —The New York Times Book Review “A narrative that eases the reader with seemingly effortless grace into the rough-and-tumble world of eighteenth-century Virginia. Patrick Henry, patriot, emerges . . . a lion of a man, proud, earnest, melancholy, eloquent. The biographer has done his job; one sets this book down having heard the lion’s roar and having felt the sorrow that he is no more.” —San Francisco Examiner
Download or read book Patrick Henry written by Thomas S Kidd and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans know Patrick Henry as a fiery speaker whose pronouncement "Give me liberty or give me death!" rallied American defiance to the British Crown. But Henry's skills as an orator -- sharpened in the small towns and courtrooms of colonial Virginia -- are only one part of his vast, but largely forgotten, legacy. As historian Thomas S. Kidd shows, Henry cherished a vision of America as a virtuous republic with a clearly circumscribed central government. These ideals brought him into bitter conflict with other Founders and were crystallized in his vociferous opposition to the U.S. Constitution. In Patrick Henry, Kidd pulls back the curtain on one of our most radical, passionate Founders, showing that until we understand Henry himself, we will neglect many of the Revolution's animating values.

Download or read book Patrick Henry written by John Ragosta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often referred to as "the voice of the Revolution," Patrick Henry played a vital role in helping to launch the revolt of the American colonies against British rule. An early and compelling Revolutionary orator, Henry played an active part in the debates over the founding of the United States. As a leading anti-federalist, he argued against the ratification of the Constitution, and at the state level, he opposed Thomas Jefferson’s Statute of Religious Freedom in Virginia. In both his political triumphs and defeats, Henry was influential in establishing the nature of public discourse for a generation of new Americans. In this concise biography, John A. Ragosta explores Henry’s life and his contributions to shaping the character of the new nation, placing his ideas in the context of his times. Supported by primary documents and a supplementary companion website, Patrick Henry: Proclaiming a Revolution gives students of the American Revolution and early Republic an insightful and balanced understanding of this often misunderstood American founder.

Book Synopsis Lion of Liberty by : Harlow Giles Unger
Download or read book Lion of Liberty written by Harlow Giles Unger and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this action-packed history, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger unfolds the epic story of Patrick Henry, who roused Americans to fight government tyranny -- both British and American. Remembered largely for his cry for "liberty or death," Henry was actually the first (and most colorful) of America's Founding Fathers -- first to call Americans to arms against Britain, first to demand a bill of rights, and first to fight the growth of big government after the Revolution. As quick with a rifle as he was with his tongue, Henry was America's greatest orator and courtroom lawyer, who mixed histrionics and hilarity to provoke tears or laughter from judges and jurors alike. Henry's passion for liberty (as well as his very large family), suggested to many Americans that he, not Washington, was the real father of his country. This biography is history at its best, telling a story both human and philosophical. As Unger points out, Henry's words continue to echo across America and inspire millions to fight government intrusion in their daily lives.
Book Synopsis Patrick Henry by : Various (Ed. Charles F. Horne)
Download or read book Patrick Henry written by Various (Ed. Charles F. Horne) and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Henry was born in Hanover County, Virginia, May 29, 1736; died in Charlotte County, Virginia, June 6, 1799. He was the son of Colonel John Henry, of Mount Brilliant, a Scotchman by birth, who was the nephew of Dr. William Robertson, the historian. Henry received only the limited education accessible in the rural locality in which he was born, consisting of the rudiments of an English training and absolutely no acquaintance with the classics. At the age of fifteen he was placed in a country store as assistant salesman, or clerk. After a year's experience, his father purchased a small stock of goods for him, and set him up on his own account in partnership with his brother William.
Download or read book Patrick Henry written by Coit Tyler and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1887, then revised in 1898, this biography of Patrick Henry is being reprinted to re-introduce this staunch defender of liberty and state's rights to a new generation of Americans -indeed a generation of Americans much in need of hearing the echo of the words, "...give me liberty, or give me death." Patrick Henry was truly an American patriot. As the first governor of Virginia, he will forever hold a place in the American spirit. It is appropriate that this famous leader never held a national public office (though had many opportunities), for he was an "anti-federalist," one who feared the federal system would become too powerful for our own good. If Patrick Henry could speak today, he might be shouting from every mountaintop, "I told you so!" Dispensational Publishing House is pleased to present this timeless piece of history. Perfect for students and history buffs, or those who are concerned about the power-grab that is often seen in national politics. Patrick Henry's life is covered from his earliest years to his last days in a thorough, readable, and enlightening book. Though the words were written over 125 years ago, and the man had finished his living 225 years ago (with a witness to his Savior in his dying breaths), this man and these words are a man for our time.
