"First to Fall" recounts the life of Elijah Lovejoy, an abolitionist newspaper editor who passionately fought for free speech amidst the tumultuous 1830s. Through rigorous research, author Ken Ellingwood brings to life Lovejoy’s heroic efforts and ultimate sacrifice in defending the press against pro-slavery violence in Illinois. This compelling history highlights the enduring importance of free expression and situates Lovejoy’s story within the broader struggle for justice and morality in America.
