The book Samuel Freeman Miller by Charles Noble Gregory is a comprehensive biography of the life and career of the American jurist and politician, Samuel Freeman Miller. Miller was born in Kentucky in 1816 and went on to become a prominent lawyer and judge in his home state. In 1862, he was appointed to the United States Supreme Court by President Abraham Lincoln, where he served until his death in 1890.The book explores Miller's early life and education, his legal career, and his political activities before and during his time on the Supreme Court. It also delves into his judicial philosophy and his notable opinions on important cases, including the landmark case of United States v. Cruikshank, which dealt with the enforcement of civil rights after the Civil War.Throughout the book, Gregory provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of Miller as a jurist, politician, and person. He draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Miller's own writings and correspondence, to paint a vivid picture of the man and his times. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American legal history, the Supreme Court, or the life of one of its most important justices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
