An Irish emigrant who helped the United States of
America find its voice.
His hand attested the Declaration of Independence. From his
desk flowed the records that shaped a nation.
Born in Ulster, Charles Thomson crossed the Atlantic as a child
and became the quiet architect of the Continental Congress,
serving as Secretary from its first meeting in 1774 through the
American Revolution and the
establishment of a new government under the Constitution in
1789. Yet on both sides of the Atlantic, his name is too often
overlooked. This book restores Thomson to the story-linking
the townlands of his youth to the founding of the United States.
Marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence, this volume invites readers in Ireland and America
to rediscover a founder who embodied accuracy, integrity and
public service.
At once biography, local history, and transatlantic reflection,
CHARLES THOMSON-Irish Emigrant, American Founder
shows how an immigrant life can bind communities-and
centuries-together.
