Harold Knudsen's latest book shines a spotlight on one of America's often-overlooked Founding Fathers, Fisher Ames, a devoted Christian, Federalist statesman, and four-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives who served during the Washington Administration. Ames played a significant role in shaping the early American government, helped frame the language of the religious clauses of the First Amendment, and became famous for his influential Jay Treaty Oration that helped secure President George Washington's treaty with Great Britain.

During this presentation, Knudsen will explore the life and accomplishments of Fisher Ames, his role in the Founding Era and Early Republic, his relationship with President Washington and Alexander Hamilton, and the lasting impact of his ideas on the young nation.

Harold will also discuss the extensive research behind his book, which features more than 1,000 footnotes and draws from numerous primary sources. Copies of Fisher Ames: Christian Founding Father & Federalist will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation.
