| Sommario/riassunto: | "This revealing biography considers Cilley's short life: his early years in New Hampshire, his time at Bowdoin College and friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne, his marriage and political life, the events that caused him to accept the duel challenge, and the duel itself, with its tragic aftermath. It also provides an intriguing glimpse into the politics of nineteenth-century America"--Provided by publisher. |
