Henry Clay and the Pursuit of Power Through The Years
Henry Clay, famed for the line to rather be right than be President, pursued the presidency four times without securing the office. From 1824 to 1848 he remained active in politics, supporting Adams in 1824, backing Harrison in 1836, and resigning his Senate seat in 1840. He died in Washington at 76, leaving a lasting record of American statesmanship. The 1870 12 cent purple stamp memorializes him.
