This is an hour long treatment of one of the great American biographies of the century. Country Lawyer, the portrait of a dignified, strongly individualistic and loveable personality such as could have been produced only by the country town as yet unimproved by the automobile, radio and the chain store. It is at once a human document of a man and of a profession, a remarkably vivid picture of American village life from the mid 1860 until just before the First World War.
