They also ran : the story of the men who were defeated for the presidency
Irving Stone
Horace Greeley is now remembered onlyfor his famous slogan, ''Go West, youngman," yet once he was a candidate forimmortal fame as an American president. The people turned him down. Irving Stone writes a fascinating historyof the "also rans," right up to the latestdefeated presidential candidates.
What tragedies were averted when the publicturned down the self-seeking Stephen Douglas and Henry Clay; the silver-tongued,empty-headed William Jennings Bryan?What opportunities were lost when a geniuslike James Cox was whipped by a nonentitylike Warren G. Harding, when Judge AltonB. Parker and explorer John C. Fremontwere defeated?
As he questions the course of history, IrvingStone exposes the reasonings and recreatesthe realities of American politics. As in all theother biographical works by this great writer,THEY ALSO RAN plucks figures from thepages of history and presents them as livinghuman beings. Here are the men who hadatry at glory, and lost by the ballot box.
