Manuscripts
The bulk of this archive is about John Meredith Read, Sr. (1797-1874) a man of remarkable accomplishments and strong convictions. Having served as the United States federal judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, he was nominated for the United States Supreme Court in 1844, only to be denied confirmation because of his vocal opposition to slavery.
