A Patriarch and His Family in the Early Republic: The Papers of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, 1782–1832 concludes the final volumes of letters covering the life of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. In this four-volume edition, Carrollton’s letters capture the voices of his family, friends, and professional acquaintances preparing for, and living through, the aftermath of his passing in 1782. The letters reveal a landscape of the burgeoning country his signature helped build throughout the ongoing American Experiment. The abundance of information contained in these final volumes, published in the year that the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, also provides an opportunity for contemporary readers to draw their own informed conclusions and interpretations about the social, political, and economic dimensions of the early days of the United States.

Editors: Ronald Hoffman, Mary C. Jeske, and Sally D. Mason
