In the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, Associate Justice Charles
Evans Whittaker (1957?1962) merited several distinctions. He was
the only Missourian and the first native Kansan appointed to the
Court. He was one of only two justices to have served at both the
federal district and appeals court levels before ascending to the
Supreme Court. And Court historians have routinely rated him a
failure as a justice. This book is a reconsideration of Justice
Whittaker, with the twin goals of giving him his due and correcting
past misrepresentations of the man and his career. Based on primary
sources and information from the Whittaker family, it demonstrates
that Whittaker's life record is definitely not one of inadequacy or
failure, but rather one of illness and difficulty overcome with
great determination. Nine appendices document all aspects of
Whittaker's career. Copious notes, a selected bibliography, and two
indexes complete a work that challenges the historical assessment
of this public servant from Missouri.
