Describing Butler (1744-1822) as one of the least understood of the South Carolina signers of the U.S. Constitution, Lipscomb (South Carolina Department of Archives and History/South Caroliniana Library) presents a biographical sketch of this founding father-- who supported the electoral college and pioneered the tactic of leaking privileged information--in what is evidently the first collection of Butler's letters to be published in book form. He then discusses how his correspondence of 1790-1794 to such contemporaries as George Washington, John Adams, and George Mason Lee sheds light on the nation's formative period.
