Includes index
Burke Davis presents Andrew Jackson as one of the greatest American soldiers and the most assertive and influential of our Presidents. We see the early Jackson - womanizer, roustabout, hell raiser; then Jackson in middle age - married ( to a divorced woman ), and a great general; and finally Jackson in his later years a "populist" President, a man of the people, interested in reform, in expansion, in democracy. The personal life and turbulent military and political career of Andrew Jackson are considered in light of major twentieth-century reappraisals of America's seventh president and his time.
