A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is with heartfelt pride and gratificaton that the publisher has it in his power to present to the American public the following authentic outline of the life and actions of Colonel Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky. This sketch, faint and imperfect as it is, will serve to record some few of the meritorious services which have distinguished his career and rendered him an object of general admiration and respect. In him we find combined, in an eminent degree, the qualities which distinguish the philanthropist, the statesman, and the hero. We see him, while yet in early youth, pleading the cause of the poor against the rich, in the courts of law, without the least prospect of fee or emolument, and thus exposing himself to the ill will of the wealthy an influential, as well as to the censures of his brethrern of the profession. We see him again at the early age of twenty filling, to the satisfaction of his constituents, a seat in the legislative councils of the state; and soon after, while yet under the constitutional age, called, by popular acclamation, at a critical period, to represent the state in the national councils.
