Description

“This volume gives evidence of many years of careful research and mirrored image. This is a sound study of the influence of the landowning southern aristocracy in state and national affairs. Members of the Clay circle of relatives, like many others of the antebellum period, combined law, agriculture, and politics. They lived the ‘good life’ of the planter class and struggled to defend what they regarded as southern rights. The Clement C. Clays, father and son, both distinguished themselves within the U.S. Senate [and] the latter also served within the Confederate Senate.”–Mississippi Valley Historical Review
 
“The history of one among Alabama’s such a lot distinguished families. . . . The writer succeeds within the difficult task of creating the past come alive again, and she does it by the skillful employment of a multitudinous choice of sources.”–Alabama Review
