SynopsisExcerpt from Nathan Clifford Democrat: 1803-1881 In presenting to the public the story of the life of Nathan Clifford, the author is embarking on a sea, which is to him, strange and uncharted. There have been many hidden rocks, great stretches of unknown shoals, and numberless cross as well as counter currents. He is well aware that not all these dangers have been successfully avoided. However the book be considered, the effort has been made, conscientiously, faulty though it may be, to make a partial payment for the privilege of bearing a surname, honored among men, years before the present writer was born. Therefore it is to be hoped that the seriousness of purpose may be considered in mitigation of the judgment of the work. There has also been felt a desire to present properly to readers the story of one who belonged to what is now almost universally admitted to have been the wrong side of a great controversy. We are too apt to forget, in the light of victory, to investigate into the shadows of defeat. The glory of success ofttimes magnifies all those within its rays, at the same time minimizing everything outside and beyond. The winning party is incorrectly considered all good, while its opponents are erroneously held to be the absolute opposite. Therefore it is not unwise to look occasionally into the life of one who was not within the circle of the blessed.
