John Jay was one of America's greatest Founding Fathers. First
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Secretary for Foreign Affairs
during the Confederation, President of the Continental Congress,
Governor of New York -- the only surprise is that he never became
President. A New York lawyer, Jay (1745-1829) negotiated (with
Franklin and Adams) the treaty that ended the War of Independence
and later, in Jay's Treaty of 1794, the first commercial agreement
with Britain. Actively engaged in the Revolutionary War, and a
major contributor to the development and ratification of the
Constitution, he was a central figure in the early history of the
American Republic. A slave owner himself, he was nevertheless an
early exponent of the gradual abolition of slavery. John Jay is the
first biography for over sixty years of this remarkable man.
Drawing on substantial new material, Walter Stahr has written a
full and highly readable portrait of both the public and the
private man.
