Charles Carroll of Carrollton - Faithful Revolutionary

Scott McDermott

Meet Charles Carroll of Carrollton: “A Roman Catholic but an ardent patriot”

So said John Adams about the great Founding Father who originated the Electoral College (to which Bush owes his Presidency), signed the Declaration of Independence, and fought tirelessly for religious liberty for Catholics in America. Charles Carroll is little-known today — but author Scott McDermott is determined to change that. In this illuminating biography, he paints a vivid picture of Carroll’s tumultuous life that shows why this forgotten Founder’s heroic Catholic example is needed now more than ever.

McDermott uses Carroll’s letters and other personal papers to bring you a well-rounded portrait of this complex and fascinating man. He also details the political and social currents that Carroll confronted during his long career. This book is a gripping introduction to a forgotten hero — and a key contribution to the ongoing debate about the place of religion in public life.
