Forger Monroe Edwards and a Lawyer's Forgery Ties
A historic account details Monroe Edwards, praised for his clever forgeries, his elegant facade, and his eventual downfall after forging substantial sums in Philadelphia and elsewhere. It notes his conviction, a young lawyer Willams M. Evarte who handled forged checks, and the broader sensational tale including links to Daniel Webster and James Watson Webb. The text weaves in side notes on rope walking feats, bridge construction risks, and moral quotations, reflecting a wide miscellany typical of the era. The piece closes with reflections on literacy, Missouri paper publication, and a parable about generosity and prudence.
