Abraham Baldwin: Patriot, Educator, and Founding Father is the definitive biography of Abraham Baldwin, a highly significant early-American leader who helped assemble the framework of American democracy and who may be the least known signer of the Constitution. Baldwin served as a Georgia State Legislator, as a State Representative to the Confederation Congress, the Constitutional Convention, first president of the University of Georgia, a Representative in the First U.S. Congress, and later as a U.S. Senator. It is must reading for laymen and historians alike. The book presents a graphic portrait of a man whose amazingly broad scope and vision left a lasting mark on his country and his adopted state of Georgia.
