An Irish emigrant who helped the United States of

America find its voice.

His hand attested the Declaration of Independence. From his

desk flowed the records that shaped a nation.

Born in Ulster, Charles Thomson crossed the Atlantic as a child

and became the quiet architect of the Continental Congress,

serving as Secretary from its first meeting in 1774 through the

American Revolution and the

establishment of a new government under the Constitution in

1789. Yet on both sides of the Atlantic, his name is too often

overlooked. This book restores Thomson to the story-linking

the townlands of his youth to the founding of the United States.

Marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of

Independence, this volume invites readers in Ireland and America

to rediscover a founder who embodied accuracy, integrity and

public service.

At once biography, local history, and transatlantic reflection,

CHARLES THOMSON-Irish Emigrant, American Founder

shows how an immigrant life can bind communities-and

centuries-together.
