Book Description
Excerpt from The History: Of Bacon's and Ingram's Rebellion in Virginia in 1675 and 1676 The biography of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last of the Signers, has never before been fully written. It is believed that the publication of his letters and papers, with a detailed account of his public services, will be acceptable to all students of American history, and will enhance and substantiate the already high reputation of this pure and noble-minded statesman, the peer in character and intellect of any of the great Revolution ary leaders. Charles Carroll's life may be roughly divided into three periods; thirty years, mostly Spent abroad, in preparation for the patriotic duties which awaited him; thirty years in the service of his state and country; thirty years in scholarly retirement, where, as a close and interested observer of public events, he remained in touch with the outside world even to the last months almost of his earthly career.
