Much-to Crosby’s surprise, how
evtr, 80-year-old Andrew Hamil
ton. of Philadelphia, the best law-
ytar of his time, appeared in Zen-
.er’s defense, and made so stirring
a apt ech in favor of freedom of the
• ri-r> that Zender was acquitted
Vy the jury. The trial marked the
itart of free newspaper expression
in America.
That same year. 1735. another:
pioneer, but of a different type, ;
was pleading with the merchants
of Montreal to finance his explora
tions in.Westerp Canada. That was
La Verendrye, and when the
Frvnchlnen told • how his son has
established Fort Mauaepas at Win
nipeg, 450 miles beyond the last
previous outpost, and painted a
picture of the riches id furs to be
gotten out of the west, he won the
support he sought. Later, he be
came the first white man to see
tl>e Rocky Mountains, and pointed
the way for later explorers to find
a route to the Pacific. ’
Columbia will “plate” micro

Zender was tried, and then in the
