"Andrew Jackson, as the seventh president of the United States,
from 1829 to 1837, has long been considered one of the best half
dozen or so of all American presidents. This interesting and
insightful review of the major events of Jackson's presidency can
be read for profit and entertainment by student and general reader
alike."--Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography"The best
account of the presidency of Andrew Jackson, distinguished for its
erudition, lucidity, fairness, and balance."--American Historical
Review"The Old Hickory that emerges from the pages of this volume
is a different Jackson from the traditional, almost mythic figure,
a man less sure of himself than imagined, a man more controlled by
the political and economic forces of his age than the
reverse."--Journal of Southern History"A balanced and original
interpretation."--Journal of American History"Cole nimbly and
authoritatively traverses one of the most exciting, dynamic, and
colourful administrations in American history. Thoroughly
researched, original in conception, imaginatively probing in
analysis, and fascinating in detail."--TLS
"The best treatment we have of Jackson's presidency--succint,
balanced, probing."--Daniel Feller, author of The Public Lands in
Jacksonian Politics"Gives 'Old Hickory' a new place in the history
of the presidency. A provocative and challenging
interpretation."--John M. Belohlavek, author of Let the Eagle Soar:
The Foreign Policy of Andrew Jackson
