James Wilson: An Introduction to His Life and Work

James Wilson is one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers, and — in the mind of Maynard Garrison ’50 — undeservedly so. Wilson was one of only six men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Even more importantly, his ideas helped shape both documents. Garrison’s James Wilson provides an introduction to Wilson’s life and work, with excerpts from his papers and famous speeches.
