Description

Controversial in his day and still controversial now, President Andrew Jackson left his mark on American history.

Seventh President Andrew Jackson was once a man of contradictions: quick tempered and brash, he frequently looked as if it would look for fights, but he was once so devoted to his wife, he quit Congress twice to be by her side. He was once a celebrated war hero who on the other hand most enjoyed his serene life in Tennessee.  Even though he saw himself as a champion of the poor, he grew to be a rich plantation owner owning many slaves. He adopted a young Native American as his son in spite of ordering the expulsion of tribes —hundreds of thousands of people—from their native land in the Southeast. Douglas Yacka captures the many sides of Andrew Jackson, whose life started just before the Revolution and ended not long before the Civil War.

This book in the New York Times best-selling series comprises eighty illustrations that assist bring the story to life.
