If you're unfamiliar with the (in)famous Robert G. Ingersoll, called by some "the most influential individual of the nineteenth century", this book is for you. Orvin Larson explores his life, times, trials and victories. Larson follows him all over the country and shows us why Thomas Edison said of him, "No finer personality ever existed." Edgar Lee Masters spoke to "the lovers of liberty everywhere, but chiefly to the youth of America who did not know Robert G. Ingersoll, remember that he helped to make you free".
