Sinopsis

The Mill Boy of the Slashes: Young Folks? Life of Henry Clay is a biography written by John Frost and published in 1887. The book tells the story of Henry Clay, a young boy who grew up in the backwoods of Virginia in the late 18th century. Clay?s father was a Baptist preacher, and the family struggled to make ends meet. Despite his humble beginnings, Clay was a gifted student and eventually became a lawyer and politician. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and as Secretary of State under President John Quincy Adams. Clay was known for his eloquent speeches and his efforts to preserve the Union during a time of great division in the United States. The Mill Boy of the Slashes is a well-written and engaging biography that provides young readers with an inspiring example of perseverance and hard work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
