He’s hardly the most famous signer of the Declaration of Independence, but Benjamin Rush should be better known. Among other things, he was one of the first physicians to identify mental illness as a medical is-sue. Journalist and author Fried taps Rush’s private correspondence with Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin for a revealing bio.
