The story of Gouverneur Morris, the brilliant and unconventional Founding Father from New York, is a forgotten jewel in the crown of early American national history. Envoy to the Terror is the first in-depth study of Morris's time in France (1789-94), and it convincingly discredits many longstanding myths about his performance as a diplomat.
