J. L. M. Curry: A Biography by Edwin Anderson Alderman is a comprehensive account of the life and achievements of John Lovejoy Mckinney Curry, a prominent American educator, politician, and diplomat of the 19th century. The book delves into Curry's early life in Georgia, his education at the University of Georgia, and his subsequent career as a teacher and administrator at various educational institutions, including Howard College (now Samford University) and Richmond College (now the University of Richmond).The biography also covers Curry's political career, including his service in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and his subsequent election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Later in life, Curry became a prominent advocate for education reform, serving as the first agent of the Peabody Education Fund and later as the first president of the Southern Education Board. He also served as a diplomat, representing the United States as minister to Spain and later as ambassador to France.Throughout the book, Alderman explores Curry's views on education, race relations, and other important issues of his time, providing insight into the social and political climate of the late 19th century. The biography is based on extensive research, including Curry's personal papers and correspondence, and is written in a clear and engaging style that makes it accessible to both scholars and general readers. Overall, J. L. M. Curry: A Biography is a valuable contribution to the study of American history and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
