The Clarks: An American Story Of Wealth, Scandal, Mystery
February 27, 2010
History buffs dare not leave before reading.
Hat Tip to Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire.
My readers will enjoy this true story of a U.S. Senator who fathered a child with a woman in Paris 39 years younger, but waited until the child was 2 years old before telling anyone. When he is finally forced to resign, the governor is tricked into leaving the state, so the lieutenant governor can appoint the disgraced senator to fill his own vacancy.
It’s all true, but it happened more than 100 years ago.
The story is presented in a fast paced power-point type of presentation that will delight you.
We begin…..
…….on Fifth Avenue in New York, 1922, in the Easter Parade. Huguette Clark, 15, walks with her father, William A. Clark, senator and copper king. He was the second richest American — or first, neck and neck with Rockefeller. Huguette, now 103, has no heirs. Where is she?
