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. 606 $aLawyers$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 610 $a20th century. 610 $aattorney. 610 $abiographical sketches. 610 $abiographical. 610 $acagey lawyer. 610 $acareer. 610 $acourtroom lawyer. 610 $acrime and punishment. 610 $acriminal investigation. 610 $aengaging. 610 $agifted writer. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimportant individuals. 610 $ajudge and jury. 610 $aletters and correspondence. 610 $aletters collection. 610 $aletters. 610 $alifetime. 610 $aliterary letters. 610 $alitigation. 610 $alively. 610 $apage turner. 610 $apersonal letters. 610 $arealistic. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $arevealing passages. 610 $ascholarly edition. 610 $aunderrated philosopher. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aus history. 615 0$aLawyers 676 $a340.092 676 $aB 700 $aDarrow$b Clarence$f1857-1938.$01474785 701 $aTietjen$b Randall$g(Randall Matthew),$f1961-$01474786 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786994503321 996 $aIn the clutches of the law$93688652 997 $aUNINA
