Robert Wilbur Steele: Defender of Liberty is a biographical book written by Walter Lawson Wilder in 1913. The book recounts the life and achievements of Robert Wilbur Steele, a prominent lawyer and politician from the late 19th century. Steele was born in 1847 in New York and grew up to become a successful lawyer, serving as a district attorney for several years. He was also involved in politics, serving as a member of the New York State Assembly and later as a member of the US House of Representatives. The book chronicles Steele’s efforts to defend individual rights and liberties during a time of great social and political upheaval in America. He was a strong advocate for civil rights and worked tirelessly to promote equality and justice for all. The book also explores Steele’s personal life, including his marriage to his wife, Mary, and his relationships with his children. Throughout the book, Wilder provides a detailed account of Steele’s legal and political battles, including his involvement in landmark cases such as the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson and the trial of Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President James Garfield. The book also covers Steele’s role in the fight for women’s suffrage and his efforts to reform the criminal justice system. Overall, Robert Wilbur Steele: Defender of Liberty is a fascinating portrait of a man who dedicated his life to defending the principles of freedom and justice.
