博客來This is a transcribed eulogy delivered by John McCaffrey of Mount Saint Mary’s College on Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a prominent figure in early American history. Carroll (1737-1832) was a wealthy Maryland landowner and was the last surviving signatory of the Declaration of Independence. McCaffrey’s eulogy commemorates Carroll’s life, legacy, and contributions to the founding of the United States. It offers insights into the high esteem in which Carroll was held shortly after his death, and it provides a valuable historical perspective on the early Republic. This address provides insights into the public perception and remembrance of the American Revolution and its key figures.
