The Life of Charles Follen

Charles Follen was one of the most extraordinary figures of the early American republic, a pioneering educator, writer, and reformer who championed the causes of abolition, temperance, and religious tolerance. In this insightful biography, E.L. Follen, his widow, tells the story of their life together, from their early days in Germany to their immigration to America, their struggles to establish themselves in a new land, and the tragic end of Charles's life. A moving tribute to a remarkable man and an inspiring example of courage and commitment in the face of adversity.
