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 StatesCorrespondenceLawyers340.092BDarrow Clarence1857-1938.1634472Tietjen Randall(Randall Matthew),1961-1686228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822063303321In the clutches of the law4058918UNINA
