Compass and Courage Ended a Presidential Dream
In a narrative centered on a young aide to a senator, the aide recounts a crisis at the 1836 convention, the compass of conscience guiding the senator away from Van Buren and toward principled restraint. The tale culminates with a dramatic telegram declining the nomination, the senator choosing integrity over power, and a ceremonious return to Sally for a wedding amid reflective rural imagery.
