Description: Henry Clay by Harlow Giles Unger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A compelling biography of Americas most powerful Speaker of the House, who held a divided nation together for three decades, earning a legacy as "Americas greatest statesman" Publisher Description In a critical and little-known chapter of early American history, a fearless young Kentucky lawyer threw open the doors of Congress during the nations formative years and prevented dissolution of the infant American republic.The only freshman congressman ever elected Speaker of the House, Henry Clay brought an arsenal of rhetorical weapons to subdue feuding members of the House of Representatives and established the Speaker as the most powerful elected official after the President. During fifty years in public service-as congressman, senator, secretary of state, and four-time presidential candidate-Clay constantly battled to save the Union, summoning uncanny negotiating skills to force bitter foes from North and South to compromise on slavery and forego secession. His famous "Missouri Compromise" and four other compromises thwarted civil war "by a power and influence," Lincoln said, "which belonged to no other statesman of his age and times."Explosive, revealing, and richly illustrated, HENRY CLAY is the story of one of the most courageous -and powerful - political leaders in American history. Author Biography Acclaimed historian Harlow Giles Unger is a former Distinguished Visiting Fellow at George Washingtons Mount Vernon. He is the author of twenty-four books, including eleven biographies of Americas Founding Fathers and three histories of the early republic. He lives in New York City.
