True Andrew Jackson [PDF ebook] 

Ajutor

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. American People, and other valuable general his tories of the period; the biographies of contempo raries, as Clay, Webster, Calhoun; the personal recol lections, like Quincy’s and Sergeant’s; the diaries, as those of Adams, Tyler, etc.; the numerous magazine and other ephemeral articles in newspapers and journals, which furnish a great mass of material unnecessary to catalogue in a work of this character. I have prefixed to the volume an extended chronology of Jackson’s life, compiled from data which I have secured from many sources and with’ much labor. I have come upon no such chronology – none of any sort, in fact – in my reading. The reader, and I h0pe also the student, will find it of value in assisting him to comprehend what follows. May I be forgiven a personal word in closing? Al though I am now, and for many years have been, a Democrat, I was born and reared under strong Repub lican influences. I began the study of Jackson with no great predisposition to admire him. He was not one of my early heroes – not politically or personally, that is. I have carefully examined his career and character from the point of view of friend and enemy. As will be seen from my chapter on Jackson’s place in our history, I have become persuaded that he is one of the three great Presidents in our history; and that, although he stands below both of them, as a personality he is quite worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
