Board corners bumped. 1950 Hard Cover. xii, 307 pp. Weld was foundational to the American abolition movement. " Measured by his influence, Theodore Weld was not only the greatest of the abolitionists; he was also one of the greatest figures of his time." Soon after his death in 1895 , the public forgot the man thus described by the Dictionary of American Biography, and even to historians he was little more than a name until a few years ago. It is as if Weld deliberately sought this obscurity; he refused to hold office in any of the antislavery organizations or to speak at their conventions; he avoided city life and worked in country districts; his writings were published anonymously, and he would seldom allow his speeches or his letters from the field to appear in print at all.
