We live under a constitution shaped by Morris’ smart pen. But in more ways than this,
we live in Gouverneur Morris’ America.

Morris got plenty of favorable comment from David Barton during his presentation
that aired on "Focus On The Family" radio this past Thursday and Friday.

Yesterday on CSPAN, the historian Forrest McDonald told how Morris lost his leg: he was in bed with a woman when her husband walked in. Morris made a dash out the door to his carriage wrapped in a sheet. But the getaway was too fast; the carriage turned over on him and crushed his leg.

Later in Paris he was out in another carriage with Madame de Flahaut when they were accosted by a revolutionary mob. Morris stuck out the stump of his leg and told the mob he had lost it fighting for American liberty.

Born in Morristown, New Jersey bump--home of the Gouvernor Morris Inn and "military capital of the revolution."

I like this one:
Morris, recognizing that France’s genius for political theater far outran its cultural capital and political sense, rightly predicted a bloody, illiberal resolution.

Looks like I have some reading to do.

He sounds like he was a buddy of Hamilton?

Can anyone confirm?
