Tim's Reviews > The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher

Debby Applegate won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 in the Biography category for her book, The most famous man in America. The book tells the story of Henry Ward Beecher, brother of Harriett Beacher Stowe who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. The story takes place in the 1800's and details the rise of Henry Ward Beecher as a Preacher to his adulterous scandal which captivated the nation in the late 1800's. I give this book 4 stars.
