Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed biography of Robert R. Livingston, tracing his contributions to his country through a period of great upheaval. Livingston is best known for being a key drafter of the Declaration of Independence and negotiating the Louisiana Purchase while serving as Minister to France. He was also the first Chancellor of the State of New York, instrumental in founding the Erie Canal, the American Academy of Fine Arts, and the negotiation behind the settlement of debts with France from the American Revolution. The author argues that Livingston's expertise in law, diplomacy, invention, social reform, and the arts made him one of the most influential figures in early American history. The book places Livingston's accomplishments in the context of the political and social upheaval of the founding of the United States and offers a fascinating portrait of a man whose ideas helped shape a nation.
