Description
In June 1798, President John Adams signed the now infamous Alien & Sedition Acts to suppress political
dissent. Facing imminent personal risks, a gutsy Kentucky newspaper editor ran the first editorial
denouncing the law's attempt to stifle the freedom of the press. Almost immediately, government lawyers
recommended his arrest and prosecution. That editor was William Hunter, amazingly, the son of a British
soldier. During the American Revolution, he accompanied his father on a campaign to fight the American
Rebels. Witnessing first-hand the terrors of combat and twice experiencing capture, Hunter wrote the only
surviving account written by a child of a British soldier during the American Revolution. Previously
unknown, the journal is one of the most important document discoveries in recent years. Remarkably
immigrating to an enemy country, Hunter started the second newspaper west of the Alleghenies in
Pennsylvania. Moving to Kentucky's capital, Hunter spoke his mind as a newspaper editor, took
entrepreneurial risks, and helped start educational and civic institutions. Particularly compelling, Hunter
overcame two major personal setbacks that tarnished his character and left him bankrupt. Each time, he
tenaciously persevered and regained prominent stature. Later, Hunter became an elected Kentucky
representative, a staunch Andrew Jackson supporter, and moved to Washington, DC, to root out fraud and
waste in his administration. Beyond the well-known founders, William Hunter represents a previously
underappreciated community leader who made essential contributions to developing democratic and civic
institutions in Early America.
