Charles Cotesworth Pinckney was a wealthy South Carolinian whose profound sense of public duty obliged him to risk everything to assume a mantle of political and military leadership during the period of rebellion. This booklet on Pinckney is one in a series on Revolutionary War soldiers who later signed the U.S. Constitution. The booklet reviews covers his education and early political career, his military service as a company commander, and his political activities after the War. Personal data about Pinckney and a bibliographic essay of further readings are also included. (DJC)
