This vintage biography of Andrew Jackson offers a comprehensive look at the life and times of one of America’s most polarizing presidents. Author Clara Ingram Judson, a noted historian of the early 19th century, draws upon extensive primary source research to paint a vivid portrait of Jackson’s frontier upbringing, his military exploits during the War of 1812, and his tumultuous two terms in the White House. Published just a few years after Jackson’s death, this 1954 edition provides valuable historical context on the era of “Jacksonian Democracy” and the controversial policies that both empowered the common man and enabled the forced relocation of Native American tribes. With its well-preserved pages and sturdy binding, this copy represents a compelling artifact for collectors interested in presidential biographies and the complex legacy of the United States’ seventh commander-in-chief.
