William Martin Books

Before the NEBA Convention at the Rhode Island Civic Center in Providence, September, 2005.

William Martin has lectured on a range of topics as wide as the fictional world he has created:

The Lost Constitution and Good Americans, the story of the first draft of the U.S. Constitution, the struggle to ratify the final draft, and the two-hundred year struggle to preserve it.
