James Wilson's life began as an Atlantic World success story, with
mounting intellectual, political, and legal triumphs, but ended as
a Greek tragedy. Each achievement brought greater anxiety about his
place in the revolutionary world. James Wilson's life story is a
testament to the success that tens of thousands of Scottish
immigrants achieved after their trans-Atlantic voyage, but it also
reminds us that not all had a happy ending. This book provides a
more nuanced and complete picture of James Wilson's contributions
in American history. His contributions were far greater than just
the attention paid to his legal lectures. His is a very human story
of a Scottish immigrant who experienced success and acclaim for his
activities on behalf of the American people during his public
service, but in his personal affairs, and particularly financial
life, he suffered the great heights and deep lows worthy of a Greek
tragedy. James Wilson's life is an entry point into the events of
the latter half of the 18th century and the impact of the Scottish
Enlightenment on American society, discourse, and government.
