Book Note: Henry Clay

David S. and Jeanne T. Heidler have written a new biography of Henry Clay, the man who coined the phrase "I had rather be right than President."

David Heidler is a scholar who has been associated with Colorado State University since 1994. Here is his resume. Here is hers. Jeanne Heidler teaches at the Air Force Academy.

And here is a review of the new book, by a blogger who cautions that at 624 pages, "it's a long haul." But Larry Co, writing for Florida Weekly, is considerably more enthusiastic.

The authors have a joint facebook page here.
