James S. Sherman is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists James S. Sherman as vice president of the United States from 1909 to 1912 (1855–1912).
James S. Sherman was born at Utica in 1855. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at Hamilton College.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
The record gives his occupations as politician and lawyer.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
James S. Sherman died in 1912 at the age of 57. The work outlived the arguments around it.
