Description
John JayJohn Jay: Founding Father. First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Governor of New York. Negotiator of the treaty to end the American Revolution and the treaty that would stave off a second war with Great Britain for a few vital years until the infant nation was strong enough to take on its former adversary once again. Abolitionist. Father of American counterintelligence.
Inside you will read about...- The Forgotten Founding Father- The Jays of New York
- The Father of American Counterintelligence
- Negotiating the Treaty of Paris
- The Unpopular Jay Treaty
And much more! How is it that the Renaissance man of America's early history is so little known, with no image on Mount Rushmore, no face on currency, and certainly no Broadway musical to his posthumous credit? Perhaps it's because he was not a man who sought renown. Throughout his career, others, including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and John Adams, sought his help when the country was in need of his skills. John Jay's role in the establishment of the United States, a country that was founded upon ideals of freedom and democracy, has almost been forgotten. But that omission is now being remedied as editors at Columbia University plan to release a seven-volume biography of Jay's life by 2020. In the meantime, discover for yourself the remarkable story of one of the architects of the American nation, John Jay.
