Join Molly Stockdale, MT 250th Commission member and executive director of Travelers’ Rest, in discussing Rush: Revolution, Madness & the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father, by Stephen Fried.
By the time he was thirty, Dr. Benjamin Rush had signed the Declaration of Independence, edited Common Sense, toured Europe as Benjamin Franklin’s protégé, become John Adams’s confidant, and was soon to be appointed Washington’s surgeon general. He was only just beginning his role in 1776 in the American experiment. Discover Rush’s singular life and towering legacy in this illuminating book by Stephen Fried.
