Supreme Court Justice. The eldest of twelve children born to a poor farming couple, Bradley inherited a lifelong love of learning from his parents. By the time he was sixteen, he had read most of the books in the town’s library, taught himself algebra, and become a teacher in his local school. However, it was not until he was twenty years old that he began college. Always a hardworking student with a broad range of interests, he graduated from Rutgers College in three years. Originally intending to study theology, Bradley soon turned to the study of law. After graduation, he apprenticed for the bar in the office of a Newark, New Jersey, lawyer. |
