John Witherspoon: Clergyman, Founder, American Shaper

If you're keen on the intertwining of early American politics, religion, and education, Morrison's exploration of John Witherspoon's life is essential. Witherspoon's notable contributions to the American founding era are often overshadowed, but this book casts a well-deserved spotlight on his significant role. It's a fascinating dive into the influence a single individual can have on a nation's formative years, especially intriguing for those interested in the less-celebrated figures of American history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
