HENRY CLAY

by arbara Mayo ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 21, 1943

Excellent biography of a great figure in the American scene whose life was so intimately interwoven with events in the country's history, that his biography is virtually a history of the period from 1780 to 1850, encompassing the end of the American Revolution, the War of , the Mexican War, and the clamorous beginnings of the Civil War. Clay himself -- from childhood on to old age, is presented objectively, through story-and dialogue and -- from time to time -- his own writings. The biographer has succeeded in telling his story vividly, at the same time with an authentic note.
