Summary: "John Marshall" by James Bradley Thayer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and legacy of John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States, emphasizing his contributions to American constitutional law and his character evolution. Through this work, the author aims to illuminate Marshall’s significant role in shaping the judicial system and the nation itself. The opening of the biography sets the stage by delving into Marshall's early life, detailing the context of his upbringing in Virginia and highlighting the profound influence of his father and the colonial atmosphere of the time. It provides insight into the formative experiences that shaped his character, including his education, military service during the Revolutionary War, and early legal career.
