Excerpt from Life and Times of Andrew Jackson Soldier Statesman President, Vol. 1 Chapter I. Entrance into life sadly and painfully obscure - Never saw his father Did not know in what State he was born - Many spiteful books written about him bringa feeling of resentment - Parton and Sumner as biographers have dishonored him - Shall the record made go to posterity without correction?

Chapter III. When Jackson came to Tennessee he found the heroes of the Alamance and Kings Mountain there - The first battle of the Revolution was not Lexington and Concord, but the battle of the Alamance, in North Carolina - The first democratic government was formed on the Watauga, in what is now Tennessee.

Chapter V. His record as a constitution maker - His record in the lower house of Congress - His first speech in full - Accomplished what he went to do and resigned Then in the Senate and resigned - Judge in Supreme Court, but resigned.
