Tenure of Office: November 13, 1817 - March 4, 1829
After making a name for himself in some high profile cases as well as his literary endeavors, William Wirt became the 9th US Attorney General and would ultimately prove to be the longest-serving person in that post to date. What did he contribute to the two administrations that he served and how did he transform the office of Attorney General? Join me and my special guest, Howard Dorre of Plodding Through the Presidents, as we explore Wirt's Cabinet tenure. Sources used for this episode can be found at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.
