520    The untold story of the battle to legalize free expression
       in America by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ashes 
       to Ashes. The liberty of written and spoken expression has
       been fixed in the firmament of our social values since our
       nation's beginning - the government of the United States 
       was the first to legalize free speech and a free press as 
       fundamental rights. But when the British began colonizing 
       the New World, strict censorship was the iron rule of the 
       realm; any words, true or false, that were thought to 
       disparage the government were judged a criminally 
       subversive - and duly punishable - threat to law and 
       order. Even after Parliament lifted press censorship late 
       in the 17th century, printers published what they wished 
       at their peril. So when in 1733 a small newspaper, the New
       York Weekly Journal, printed scathing articles assailing 
       the new British governor, William Cosby, as corrupt and 
       abusive, colonial New York was scandalized. The paper's 
       publisher, an impoverished printer named John Peter Zenger
       with a wife and six children, in fact had no hand in the 
       paper's vitriolic editorial content - he was only a front 
       man for Cosby's adversaries, New York Supreme Court Chief 
       Justice Lewis Morris and the shrewd attorney James 
       Alexander. Zenger nevertheless became the endeavor's 
       courageous fall guy when Cosby brought the full force of 
       his high office down upon it. Jailed for the better part 
       of a year, Zenger faced a jury on August 4, 1735, in a 
       proceeding matched in importance during the colonial 
       period only by the Salem Witch Trials. In Indelible Ink, 
       acclaimed social historian Richard Kluger recreates in 
       rich detail this dramatic clash of powerful antagonists 
       that marked the beginning of press freedom in America and 
       its role in vanquishing colonial tyranny. Here is an 
       enduring lesson that resounds to this day on the vital 
       importance of free public expression as the underpinning 
       of democracy.
