Description

An important precursor of liberal thought in America, Moorfield Storey was born in 1845 to a family of Boston Brahmins and raised in the abolitionist tradition of moral leadership. . .Professor Hixson's astute biography concentrates on the 'public face' of an extraordinary man. He perceptively analyzes Moorfield Storey's career both for its relevance to our time and for the way in which Storey, more than anyone else of his time, represented the fulfillment of the nineteenth-century reform tradition.
