About this book
Peter Zenger was arrested for publishing disparaging remarks about the governor of colonial New York in his newspaper. His subsequent trial defense proved essential for the "freedom of the press" inclusion in the Bill of Rights' First Amendment. Putnam explores the articles in question and their import to colonial government, and how the trial impacted the small-press publisher's life, as well as the precedent's continuing influence on modern law.
