RushRevolution, Madness, and Benjamin Rush, the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father【電子書籍】[ Stephen Fried ]
<p><strong>The remarkable story of Benjamin Rush, medical pioneer and one of our nation’s most provocative and unsung Founding Fathers</strong><br /> ?<br /> In the summer of 1776, fifty-six men put their quills to a dangerous document they called the Declaration of Independence. Among them was a thirty-year-old doctor named Benjamin Rush. One of the youngest signatories, he was also, among stiff competition, one of the most visionary.<br /> ?<br /> A brilliant physician and writer, Rush was known as the “American Hippocrates” for pioneering national healthcare and revolutionizing treatment of mental illness and addiction. Yet medicine is only part of his legacy. Dr. Rush was both a progressive thorn in the side of the American political establishmentーa vocal opponent of slavery, capital punishment, and prejudice by race, religion or genderーand close friends with its most prominent leaders. He was the prot?g? of Franklin, the editor of <em>Common Sense,</em> Washington’s surgeon general, and the broker of peace between Adams and Jefferson, yet his stubborn convictions more than once threatened his career and his place in the narrative of America’s founding.<br /> ?<br /> Drawing on a trove of previously unpublished letters and images, the voluminous correspondence between Rush and his better-known counterparts, and his candid and incisive personal writings, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author and award-winning journalist Stephen Fried resurrects the most significant Founding Father we’ve never heard of and finally installs Dr. Rush in the pantheon of great American leaders.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
