The MIll Boy of the Slashes: Young Folks Life of Henry Clay (Classic Reprint)

The biography of Henry Clay is the history of his country, during the term of years that it embraces. But, although he was a constant actor in public life, his sphere did not embrace such stirring events on the ocean and the battle-field, as give the lives of many other American public men their interest. Mr. Clay shistory is the history of the Legislation of the United States; and we have labored so to present it, that our young readers may be introduced to a portion of the annals of their country, which is not usually embraced in brief and compendious narratives.
