This review is from: Magnificent Missourian: Life of Thomas Hart Benton (Hardcover)
Thomas Hart Benton is one of the Senators who was featured in Jack Kennedy's Pulitzer-Prize winning Profiles in Courage, and this book tells Benton's story well. Benton was born near Hillsboro, N.C. in March of 1782. He attended the University of North Carolina and apparently was forced to leave because of a suspicion of theft! He was one of Missouri's first two Senators and served from Aug 21, 1821, till March 3, 1851--the longest consecutive Senate service up to that time. He was a dominating figure in the Seante, and was not outshone by Webster, Clay, and Calhoun--all of whom were at times in the Senate while Benton was there. This is a worthwhile book, and if you are interested in Benton should be read.
