Beskrivelse

A scholarly biography of the great agnostic and freethought pioneer Robert Ingersoll.'ARDENT FRIENDS compared [Robert Green Ingersoll] to Shakespeare and Lincoln. Bitter enemies wanted to transport him to the South Seas. Walt Whitman thought he was sent by heaven to save the race from itself.

(C. H. Cramer)
