The purpose of this book is to identify those forces which form the historical taproot of the advocacy system of jurisprudence; and subsequently, to determine if history sustains the author's contention that the environmental influence of the primeval wilderness was a pregnating and intimidating force, that not only projected a dominating aura over a multitude of less potent forces-to which all of the colonists were subjected-but, that by its destructive relationship with the cultural shackles of the human mind released the full force of individualism to impact upon the embryonic heritage of English jurisprudence-consequently-molding it into a uniquely American system.
