Beveridge, "The Life of John Marshall" Volume 1 (1916).Albert Jeremiah Beveridge (1862-1927) was a progressive Republican Senator from Indiana from 1899 to 1911. After he was defeated in a bid for re-election in 1910, he became a biographer of John Marshall, who served as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835.
Beveridge's biography of Marshall is frequently called "monumental" and indeed it is: four large volumes published between 1916 and 1919 by Houghton Mifflin Company. It was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 1920.
