Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1733, struggling printer John Peter Zenger scandalized colonial New York by launching the New-York Weekly Journal, which assailed the British governor as corrupt and arrogant -- a direct challenge to the prevailing law against "seditious libel", which criminalized any criticism of the government. Fronting for a group of powerful antiroyalist politicians, Zenger was jailed for nine months before his landmark trial in August 1735, when he was brilliantly defended by Philadelphia lawyer Alexander Hamilton. In this book, Richard Kluger recreates this dramatic clash that marked the birth of press freedom in America and its role in vanquishing colonial tyranny.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 686.2092 Zenger Kluger Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 686.2092 Zenger Kl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
