The Forsaken Founder

In "The Forsaken Founder," Scott Greenberger unveils the remarkable yet overlooked legacy of Gouverneur Morris, a key architect of the US Constitution, the nation’s first bank, and a fierce opponent of slavery. From strategizing to supply the Continental Army to delivering a poignant eulogy for Alexander Hamilton, Morris played an indispensable role in shaping America's early years. Despite his significant contributions and visionary ideas, his story has faded from public memory, prompting an exploration of why this brilliant Founding Father's impact remains largely unrecognized. This biography traverses the tumultuous landscapes of both the American and French Revolutions, restoring Morris to his rightful place in history.
