This is the story of the nineteen men who enjoyed, or suffered, an identical fate; they were all defeated for the presidency of the United States. These stories are not told in their chronological order, but are grouped according to those analogies which give history a fascinating plot structure. Irving Stone (born Tennenbaum, July 14, 1903 - August 26, 1989) was an American writer, chiefly known for his biographical novels of noted artists, politicians and intellectuals. Among the best known are Lust for Life (1934), about the life of Vincent van Gogh, and The Agony and the Ecstasy (1961), about Michelangelo. Although he was best known for his novels, Stone also wrote a number of non-fiction books. His biography of Clarence Darrow, Clarence Darrow For the Defense, about the attorney known both for his defense of thrill killers Leopold and Loeb and his defense of John T. Scopes in the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial was published in 1941. His biography Earl Warren, about the California governor and later Chief Justice of the United States, was published in 1948. His book on unsuccessful Presidential candidates was published in 1944. Stone evaluates several unsuccessful candidates for President of the United States, from the elections of 1824 through 1940. He explores their places in history (and those of their victorious opponents), and tries to assess whether or not the American people made the "right" choice in choosing another candidate for that office. Stone groups the also-rans by profession, rather than listing them in chronological order. For example, the first section assesses newspapermen Horace Greeley and James M. Cox. Coincidentally Stone happens to rate them favorably compared to the candidates who were elected: Grant and Harding. The Chicago Tribune described They Also Ran as "a fascinating and challenging book," The New York Times praised it as "a brilliant idea . brilliantly executed" Presumed later printing [copyright is 1943 but 1944 is on title page].

Irving Stone (born Tennenbaum, July 14, 1903 - August 26, 1989) was an American writer, chiefly known for his biographical work on noted artists, politicians and intellectuals. Among the best known are Lust for Life (1934), about the life of Vincent van Gogh, and The Agony and the Ecstasy (1961), about Michelangelo. In 1923, Stone received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley. After receiving his M.A. there, he went to Paris. In 1930 he received a letter from Dr. Felix Rey, who had treated Van Gogh after he'd cut off his own ear in December 1888. Rey, who was the subject of a portrait painting by Van Gogh, became Stone's friend; he confirmed that Van Gogh's whole ear was removed and not only the earlobe. When at home, Stone relied upon the research facilities and expertise made available to him by Esther Euler, head research librarian of the University of California at Los Angeles. He dedicated books to her and thanked her in several of his works. This is the story of the twenty men who enjoyed, or suffered, an identical fate: they were all defeated for the presidency of the United States. Stone evaluates several unsuccessful candidates for President of the United States, from the elections of 1824 through 1940. He explores their places in history (and those of their victorious opponents), and tries to assess whether or not the American people made the "right" choice in choosing another candidate for that office. Stone groups the also-rans by profession, rather than listing them in chronological order. For example, the first section assesses newspapermen Horace Greeley and James M. Cox. Coincidentally Stone happens to rate them favorably compared to the candidates who were elected: Grant and Harding. The Chicago Tribune described They Also Ran as "a fascinating and challenging book." The New York Times praised it as "a brilliant idea . brilliantly executed". The book inspired the Also-Ran Gallery, founded in Norton, Kansas in 1965, a collection of black-and-white portraits of unsuccessful presidential candidates that is displayed within the First State Bank building. Derived from a Kirkus review: These "psychographs" of unsuccessful candidates for president, which animates historical speculation in estimating what might have happened had they won. Greeley and Cox, contenders from journalism; Clay and Bryan who made a career of presidential campaigning; Parker and Hughes who failed to leave the judiciary for a higher post; the generals -- Scott, Fremont, McClellan, Hancock; the solitary Tilden; the professional politicians Douglas and Blaine; the governors, Cass, Seymour, Smith, Landon; the Wall Street lawyers, Davis and Willkie -- a parade that aligns the campaigners into parallels of backgrounds, temperaments and characters, that provokes our curiosity and interest. Presumed First Edition, later printing (initial copyright date is 1943).
