"Discourse on the Life and Character of the Hon. Littleton Waller Tazewell" by Hugh Blair Grigsby is a biographical discourse written in the mid-19th century. The text commemorates the life and achievements of Littleton Waller Tazewell, an influential figure in Virginia's history known for his remarkable intellect and political career. The discourse serves as both a tribute to Tazewell and a reflection on his lasting impact in both legal and political spheres. The opening of this work reveals a gathering of esteemed citizens, including members of the bar and local dignitaries, who have come together to honor the memory of Tazewell following his death. Grigsby articulates the profound sense of loss felt by those who knew him and provides insight into Tazewell’s early life, intellectual pedigree, and development as a statesman and lawyer amid the tumultuous backdrop of American history. The narrative establishes that Tazewell’s life can be divided into distinct phases, detailing his upbringing and connections to major historical events that shaped his character, as well as his relationships with significant figures of the time.
