Excerpt from The True Andrew Jackson A re-statement of the scope of this Series seems a necessary preliminary to each successive volume. No formal biography is contemplated. There has been no attempt to tell in chronological order the life-story of any of the persons discussed, although the temptation in my case - and I presume the same is true of the other authors in the Series - has been strong to do just that thing. The volumes of the Series, therefore, are the result of the exercise of at least one quality which goes to make a successful book - self-restraint. To repeat what has already been said elsewhere, here is an attempt to make a picture in words of a man; to exhibit a personality; to show that personality in touch with its human environment; to declare what manner of man was he whose name is on the title-page. Not to chronicle events, therefore, but to describe a being; not to write a history of the time, but to give an impression of a period associated with its dominant personal force, has been my task. To my mind the most useful of the smaller and earlier biographies of Andrew Jackson are those by John Henry Eaton and "An American Officer." That is not saying much, however, and both biographies are very incomplete, as are Kendall's famous series of papers upon the same subject. In 1859 appeared a comprehensive and exhaustive biography of Jackson by Mr. James Parton, who was by birth an Englishman, but who strove earnestly, and with much success, to be fair, impartial, and judicious in discussion of the great mass of material which he so industriously accumulated and so thoroughly digested.

Excerpt from When Men Grew Tall or the Story of Andrew Jackson As adding to the horse face a look of com mand, which sets well with those blue eyes so capable of tenderness and ferocity - is a high predatory nose. The mouth, thin-lipped and wide, is replete of what folk call character, but does nothing to soften a general expression which is nothing if not iron. And yet the last word is applicable only at times. The horse face never turns iron-hard unless danger presses, or perilous deeds are to be done. In easier.

Excerpt from The Story of "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson IN 1765, two years after the French and Indian War had closed, a man named Andrew Jackson, with his good wife and two bright little boys named Hugh and Robert, came from the north of Ireland and settled in South Carolina. They landed at the port of Charleston and made a long journey through the wilderness, one hundred and sixty miles to the northwest. They came to a settlement, called the Wax haw Settlement, after a tribe of Indians of that name. Here Mr. Jackson made his home. He was not a rich man, but had means enough left to purchase a little farm, on which he built a little log-house and' began to clear away the forest. The family rejoiced to have a home of their own though it was a rude one. In his native country Mr. Jackson had been only a tenant.
