The Martyr Of Freedom: A Discourse Delivered At East Machias, November, And At Machias, December, 1837 (1838) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165520763)

The Martyr of Freedom is a book written by Thomas Treadwell Stone, and it was published in 1838. The book is a discourse that was delivered by Stone at two separate events in East Machias and Machias, Maine, in November and December of 1837. The discourse is focused on the concept of freedom and the sacrifices that people make in order to protect and preserve it. Stone specifically discusses the life and death of Elijah P. Lovejoy, a journalist and abolitionist who was killed by a pro-slavery mob in 1837. The book provides a detailed account of Lovejoy's life, his work as a journalist, and his dedication to the abolitionist cause. Stone also examines the broader social and political context of the time, including the growing tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces in the United States. Overall, The Martyr of Freedom is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggle for freedom and justice in the United States during the 19th century. It offers valuable insights into the lives and sacrifices of those who fought for equality and human rights, and it remains relevant and thought-provoking today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
