"The life of a great American patriot--a man whose matchless oratory literally made him the voice of rebellion against England. Until he found his true calling in the law, Patrick Henry had been a failure in the business his father had provided for him. By 1773, however. he was the most able and successful trial lawyer in Virginia; he then became a delegate to the Continental Congress and the first Governor of Virginia.".
