This compelling collection of correspondence between a father and a
son documents the history of eighteenth-century America through the
intimate story of a family and the journey from boyhood to
political prominence of its most illustrious member, Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, the only Roman Catholic signer of the
Declaration of Independence. Beginning in the late 1740s, when
""Papa"" (Charles Carroll of Annapolis) sent ""Charley"" (Charles
Carroll of Carrollton) away from his native Maryland to be educated
in Europe, the letters present a new perspective on colonial and
Revolutionary America as the lived experience of Roman Catholics,
whose defiant adherence to their faith denied them the civil rights
and guarantees - including the right to hold office and to vote -
that their Protestant counterparts enjoyed. This context
accentuates the drama of Charley's rise to power during the
Revolution, the necessity of the political and economic compromises
he felt compelled to make, and the ultimately tragic personal price
exacted by his success. Bringing the Carroll's public and private
lives sharply into focus, these volumes present the past in its
fullest human dimensions.
