In 1866, Henry Bergh - a middle-aged, aristocratic failed author and heir to a business fortune - founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. Bergh became the United States' most effective advocate for the then-burgeoning - now prominent - animal-rights cause, and its most famous lightning rod. In this fascinating biography, history professor Ernest Freeberg provides an inspirational report on Bergh's trailblazing work and landmark success in the nonprofit world.
