AN EVENING WITH AUTHOR & HISTORIAN JOEL RICHARD PAUL JD'82

MAY 3RD | 6:00PM – 8:00PM | PRESIDENT'S ROOM

In Indivisible: Daniel Webster and the Birth of American Nationalism, historian and law professor Joel Richard Paul l'82 tells the fascinating story of how Daniel Webster, a young New Hampshire attorney turned politician, rose to national prominence through his powerful oratory and unwavering belief in the United States and captured the national imagination. As he did in Without Precedent and Unlikely Allies, Joel Richard Paul has – through the pages of Indivisible –delivered "...a tour de force of compact narrative..." ~ Wall Street Journal

On May 3rd, Joel Richard Paul will be making a special trip to HCB from the West Coast to dazzle us with his compelling history and account of one of the founders of our national perspective. He will talk to us about Webster - the greatest orator of his age – who saw his speeches and writings published widely, and his stirring rhetoric convinced Americans to see themselves differently, as a nation bound together by a government of laws, not parochial interests. As these ideas took root, they influenced future leaders, among them Abraham Lincoln, who drew on them to hold the nation together during the Civil War.
