Summary

Charles Pinckney (1757-1824) was born into one of South Carolina's most prominent families and quickly became one of the state's most influential figures. Pinckney's importance has been long overshadowed by that of luminaries such as James Madison and even by other members of the Pinckney family. In Forgotten Founder, Marty D. Matthews addresses the reasons for such oversights and examines Pinckney's many important contributions to the founding of the American republic.
