As Americans urge Congress to put aside party ties to solve the country's growing problems, we are reminded of Henry Clay, the prominent politician nicknamed "The Great Compromiser."
Lindsey Apple's "The Family Legacy of Henry Clay: In the Shadow of a Kentucky Patriarch" reveals the story of this highly influential family, whose importance has been largely overshadowed by the fame of its most celebrated member. Apple brings to light this neglected story, highlighting the generations of Clay descendants as they enjoyed success and worked to overcome obstacles, leaving behind a legacy of their own.
Lindsey Apple is a retired professor and chair of history at Georgetown College. He is the editor of "Scott County: A History" and author of "Cautions Rebel: A Biography of Susan Clay Sawtzky."
