Biographies Of Francis Lewis And Morgan Lewis

By Julia Delafield

Behind the familiar story of the American Revolution lies the quieter drama of one New York family. Their shared legacy quietly endures. Julia Delafield's "Biographies of Francis Lewis and Morgan Lewis" is a finely crafted American historical biography that traces father and son across two defining eras: colonial New York history and the early American republic era. In this dual biography collection, Francis Lewis emerges as a steadfast merchant-patriot and signer of the Declaration, while Morgan Lewis steps forward as a War of 1812 general and a central figure in early New York politics. Through meticulous research, Delafield offers a richly textured signer of declaration biography that speaks both to American history students and to genealogy and family historians seeking an intimate view of a founding family in transition from colony to nation. For any reader seeking a Revolutionary War biography book with rare family depth, it offers enduring insight. First published in the nineteenth century, this classic stands alongside the best founding fathers biographies and signers of the Declaration history, yet has long been difficult to find. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for readers of Revolutionary War biography books, specialists in the War of 1812, and anyone drawn to the personalities who shaped a new republic.
