From the award-winning and New York Times best-selling author of
Seward and Stanton, here is the critically acclaimed and definitive
biography of John Jay: a major Founding Father, a true national
hero, and a leading architect of America's future. John Jay was a
central figure in the early history of the American Republic. A New
York lawyer, born in 1745, Jay served his country with the greatest
distinction, and was one of the most influential of its Founding
Fathers. In this first full-length biography of John Jay in almost
70 years, Walter Stahr brings Jay vividly to life, setting his
astonishing career against the background of the American
Revolution. Drawing on substantial new material, Walter Stahr has
written a full and highly readable portrait of both the public and
private man. It is the story not only of John Jay himself, the most
prominent native-born New Yorker of the eighteenth century, but
also of his engaging and intelligent wife, Sarah, who accompanied
her husband on his wartime diplomatic missions. This lively and
compelling biography presents Jay in the light he deserves.
