Noah Webster: A Familiar Essay

This 28 page pamphlet explores the many facets of Noah Webster's life and legacy. This essay is a condensed version of author Clifford C. Nelson's larger work, Taking Pains: The Hand of Noah and the Hall of Fame. Throughout this piece Nelson relates the accomplishments of Noah Webster to those of individuals immortalized in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. Through these comparisons Nelson agues that Noah Webster was wrongfully overlooked for inclusion while exploring the many accomplishments of Noah during his lifetime and beyond. The Hall of Fame for Great American's has fallen on hard times but the argument for celebrating Noah's life and legacy is a timeless battle.
