Synopsis
John Marshall (1755-1835) became the fourth chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court despite having had almost no formal schooling and after having studied law for a mere six weeks. Nevertheless, Marshall remains the only judge in American history whose distinction derives almost entirely from his judicial career. During Marshall's nearly 35-year tenure as chief justice, he wielded the Constitution's awe-inspiring power aggressively and wisely, setting the Supreme Court on a course for the ages by ensuring its equal position in the triumvirate of the federal government of the United States and securing its role as interpreter and enforcer of the Constitution. Marshall's judicial energies were as unflagging as his vision was expansive. This four-volume life of Marshall received wide acclaim upon its initial publication in 1920, winning the Pulitzer Prize that year, and makes fascinating reading for the lawyer, historian, and legal scholar.

About the Author
Albert Jeremiah Beveridge was born on October 6, 1862 in Highland County, Ohio. He was a well-known orator, U.S. senator and historian. He was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1887 and began the practice of law in Indianapolis. In 1899 he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate, where (1900-12) he supported the progressive legislation sponsored by President Theodore Roosevelt. Breaking with the conservative wing of his party, he served as chairman and keynote speaker of the emotion-packed convention that organized the Progressive Party and nominated Roosevelt for president in 1912.
After 1912, Beveridge pretty much retired from public office and devoted much time to the writing of history. His The Life of John Marshall, 4 vol. (1916-19), was widely acclaimed and won a Pulitzer Prize.
He died on April 27, 1927 in Indianapolis, Indiana
