Book: Life of Andrew Jackson
Author: Edited by John S. Jenkins, A.M.
Publisher: Attic Books - A division of New Leaf Publishing Group.
395 pages, hardcover
The book itself is beautifully bound with a nice cover. It is a reprint from the 1850 edition. The original title is as follows: "Life and Public Services of Gen. Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States; Including The most important of his state papers, with the Eulogy, delivered at Washington City, June 21, 1845 by Hon. George Bancroft."
It begins in 1767 with a narrative of his early life and the influence of his mother. It goes on to cover his political history, all the way up to his death in 1845. The end of the book includes a copy of his last will and testament.
It is worth noting that Andrew was eight years old when the Revolutionary war first broke out. You can learn a great deal of history while reading the details of his life.
Overall it is well written and an interesting history book.
