Description
Roger B. Taney Autograph Document Signed "R. B. Taney". Two pages. 7" x 12.25". Frederick County [Maryland], February, 1804. In this legal brief, a young Taney, surely a recently minted lawyer, represents a client who had been assaulted with "swords clubs knives and fists". Taney's endorsement appears twice on the document. Taney would go on to serve as the 5th Chief Justice of the United States, infamously known for delivering the majority opinion in the Dred Scott case. Slightly toned, with the usual fold creases, else legible, bright and in very good condition.Auction Info
