John Marshall and the Liberty Bell
An account traces the Liberty Bell’s role from its 1752 casting and 1776 independence proclamation to its use in marking key events in American history. It notes John Marshall’s rise from Virginian soldier to chief justice and links his career to the bell’s symbolic spread of liberty and national unity.
