Sinopsis
Tenure of Office: November 13, 1817 - March 4, 1829 After a childhood marred by tragedy and drunken nights of Shakespearean recitations in a state of undress as a young adult, William Wirt went on to become one of the most well respected lawyers of the Early Republic, serving as legal counsel in some of the highest-profile cases of the time including the trial of George Wythe's alleged murderer and the treason trial of Aaron Burr. Why then isn't he better known in the modern day? Join me and my special guest, Howard Dorre of Plodding Through the Presidents, as we try to answer that question!
