This exceptional biography covers Webster's childhood years and the exploits of his youth. Webster's life as a young Dartmouth College graduate in the legal and political arenas in New Hampshire are discussed at length, including an astute analysis of the noted case Dartmouth College v. Woodward. Webster's contributions to the Massachusetts Convention, his famous Plymouth Oration, and his days as U.S. Secretary of State are included as well. AUTHOR BIO: HENRY CABOT LODGE (1850-1924) was born in Boston, educated at Harvard, and admitted to the bar in 1876.
