HENRY CLAY CL by Robert Remini
A portrait of 19th-century American politician Henry Clay, perhaps best remembered for the Compromise of 1850 which held the Union states together before the Civil War.

He is the author of more than twenty books, including The Life of Andrew Jackson, a three-volume biography that won the National Book Award in 1984. Biographies of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams, and Joseph Smith are among his other works. The Western Writers of America awarded his Andrew Jackson and His Indian Warfare the Spur Award for best western nonfiction. He currently resides in Wilmette, Illinois.
