Sumario:A central political figure in the first post-Revolutionary generation, Felix Grundy (17751840) epitomized the American democrat who so famously fascinated Alexis de Tocqueville. Born and reared on the isolated frontier, Grundy rose largely by his own ability to become the Old SouthwestAEs greatest criminal lawyer and one of the first radical political reformers in the fledgling United States. In DemocracyAEs Lawyer, the first comprehensive biography of Grundy since 1940, J. Roderick Heller reveals how GrundyAEs life typifies the archetypal, postfounding fathers generation that forged AmericaAEs.
