Historian Peter Charles Hoffer offers a thorough analytical study of the roles of the "great triumvirate" of American political leaders – Henry Clay, John C.

In 1909, a thin, pale young man stood on a street corner in Vienna selling painted postcards to tourists. He couldn't hold down a job. He couldn't maintain a friendship.
