| Book Description | This is the riveting tale of one of the United State's most beloved presidents and his pivotal role in shaping the future course of the nation. From the acclaimed author of "The Road to Guilford Courthouse" (0 471 32716 6) comes the remarkable story of Andrew Jackson, a man so beloved that some men voted for him fifteen years after his death. Set against the turbulent years that made Jackson's reputation as "Old Hickory" and determined the future course of this nation, John Buchanan recounts America's fight to control the old Southwest, the huge territory stretching from the Appalachians to the Mississippi and from the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico. He also details Jackson's exploits as an Indian fighter and reassesses the vilification that has since been heaped on him because of his Indian policy. Impeccably researched and elegantly written, Jackson's Way culminates with Jackson's defeat of the British at New Orleans the stunning victory that made him a national hero and paved the way for him to become the president who gave his name to an age. John Buchanan (New York, NY), a popular historian, was formerly an archivist at Cornell University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. |
