Randall Tietjen selected these letters from over 2,200 letters in archives around the country, as well as from one remarkable find-the kind of thing historians dream about: a cache of about 330 letters by Darrow hidden away in the basement of Darrow's granddaughter's house. This collection provides the first scholarly edition of Darrow's letters, expertly annotated and including a large amount of previously unknown material and hard-to-locate letters. Because Darrow was a gifted writer and led a fascinating life, the letters are a delight to read. This volume also presents a major introduction by the editor, along with a chronology of Darrow's life, and brief biographical sketches of the important individuals who appear in the letters.LawyersUnited StatesCorrespondence20th century.attorney.biographical sketches.biographical.cagey lawyer.career.courtroom lawyer.crime and punishment.criminal investigation.engaging.gifted writer.historical.history.important individuals.judge and jury.letters and correspondence.letters collection.letters.lifetime.literary letters.litigation.lively.page turner.personal letters.realistic.retrospective.revealing passages.scholarly edition.underrated philosopher.united states.us history.Lawyers340.092BDarrow Clarence1857-1938.1474785Tietjen Randall(Randall Matthew),1961-1474786MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786994503321In the clutches of the law3688652UNINA
