Patrick Henry, the forgotten patriot
Give me liberty, or give me death.The man behind the words
Does not supercede earlier works by R. Meade, R. Beeman There have been numerous other biographies of Patrick Henry.I would still recommend Moses Coit Tyler's 1887 PATRICK HENRY, which was reprinted by Chelsea House in 1980 with an introduction by Lance Banning.William Wirt Henry's three volume PATRICK HENRY, LIFE, CORRESPONDENCES, AND SPEECHES (originally published in 1891 but recently republished) should be used with care, since W.W. Henry incorrectly attributes a number of letters and other sources to Patrick Henry which more recent scholarship has established were written by others.Richard Beeman wrote a good analytic biography, PATRICK HENRY:A BIOGRAPHY, in 1974, which provides an excellent brief introduction to Henry's politics.The most comprehensive modern scholarly biography remains Robert Meade's two volume master-work, PATRICK HENRY (1959, 1967). Mayer's prose is far more sprightly than Meade's, but Meade provides the more balanced and judicious treatment, and Meade's documentation of his conclusions is much superior. While Mayer updates Meade and Beeman in a number of places, his work does not supercede theirs, and should be read in conjunction with the earlier scholarship.Mayer's is a good book, especially as an introduction to a general audience.It is not, however, a work of historical biographical scholarship in the same class as, say, Drew Gilpen Faust's biography of James Henry Hammond, nor is it researched with the same meticulous care as Meade's account of Henry.
Engrossing Life of the Man Behind the Speech Sadly, many of the great figures of America's early history have faded from public understanding. Maybe we remember the ones who became President, but truly great and influential men like Patrick Henry and George Mason are all but forgotten. Mayer's excellent book shows what a tragedy this is. From his early career as a Virginia lawyer, to the way his beliefs and oratory were shaped by circuit-riding nonconformist Christian ministers, Mayer lays the foundations for Henry's later greatness. But most absorbing, to this reader, was Mayer's depiction of the fight in the Virginia Assembly over the ratification of the Constitution. Henry's prescient warnings of the growth of centralised power at the expense of the sovereign states leads one to wonder if maybe the anti-federalists weren't right after all. Vital insights into a vital figure in a vital period of our history. ... Read more |

A Delightful Read
A "MUST READ" FOR LOVERS OF LIBERTY
Too didactic Nevertheless, I finished the book with great admiration for Patrick Henry and an eagerness to read more about him and his ideas.I came to the book wanting to know more about the Anti-Federalists, as Henry was the most visible leader.I didn't get what I was searching for in this book.An okay book for young people but too simplistic and pat for others wanting a more intellectually demanding examination of the man. ...

Editorial Review Book Description Notwithstanding the great popular interest attaching to the name of Patrick Henry, he has hitherto been the subject of but one memoir founded on original investigation, and that, of course, is the Life by William Wirt.When it is considered, however, that Wirt's book was finished as long ago as the year 1817 -before the time had fairly come for the publication of the correspondence, diaries, personal memoranda, and official records of every sort, illustrating the great period covered by Patrick Henry's career -it will be easy to infer something as to the quantity and value of those printed materials bearing upon the subject, which are now to be had by us, but which were not within the reach of Wirt.
