Liberty Bell and John Marshall in Philadelphia History
A retrospective on the Liberty Bell and John Marshall, tracing the bell’s role from the Lee resolution to its 1835 tolls, its hiding from British forces, and its use in calling citizens to hear proclamations. It links Marshall's rise with Independence Hall’s historic events and notes the bell’s final crack during Marshall’s 1835 funeral cortege.
