Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Life and Public Services of Major General Andrew Jackson They were treated with much unkindness and severity while they remained in the power of the British; until a few days after the battle of Camden, in August, 1780, when they were released. The eldest brother had recently died; Robert died soon after his release in consequence of disease contracted and ill usage received during his captivity; their mother also died about this period, and Andrew found himself the sole survivor of the family, and the uncontrolled master of his actions and his properly. "He entered upon the enjoyment of his estate, which, though small, would have been sufficient, under prudent management, to have completed his education on the liberal scale which his mother had designed. Unfortunately, however," according to Mr. Eaton, "like too many young men, sacrificing future prospects to present gratification, he expended it with rather too profuse a hand." He continued this course of self-indulgence and unworthy "gratifications" through the three last years of the war, during which, the utmost excitement generally prevailed among the youths of Carolina. Though master of his property, it is not said that he devoted the least particle of it to the cause of freedom and while uncontrolled in his own actions, he avoided, during the splendid campaigns of Green, Lee, and Marion, any further exposure to the perils of military service. When he was eighteen years of age, or more, he "abandoned the pulpit for the bar," and commenced law student at Salisbury, in North Carolina, where he was licensed as an attorney, in 1786. In 1788 he removed "through the wilderness" to Nashville, where but one lawyer had previously resided. Here he settled, and soon after obtained the appointment of District Attorney for the territory of Tennessee. In 1796 he was a member of the convention which met to form a constitution and state government, under the act of congress, permitting Tennessee to come into the Union as a state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Gen.: Andrew Jackson, Seventh President of the United States; Including the Most Important of His State Papers A large portion of the matter to be found in these pages has sheen heretofore published, in different shapes. While the writer has not hesitated to make free and liberal use of such materials as were within his mach, both the language and the arrangement have, in all cases, been so modified and changed, as to harmonize with his desire of giving to the public, a fair, candid, and impartial life, of the dis tinguished citizen and soldier whose name appears on the title-page of the volume. But little merit, therefore, is claimed on the score of originality; and if those for whom it has been prepared, are in any degree gratified by its appearance, the labor be stowed upon it will be amply rewarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life of General Andrew Jackson: And of the Battle of New Orleans, With an Engraving of the Battle Ground Professional success immediately attended him, in consequence of the singular condition of the affairs of the settlers. Many of the young adventurers, who had traded on credit with the merchants of the town, were unable, or indisposed to fulfil their engagements, and had retained the only practitioner of the law then in Nashville, as their counsellor. The creditors had consequently no means of prosecuting their claims; but the moment of Jackson's arrival they availed themselves of his aid, and on the very next day he commenced seventy suits. This auspicious opening introduced him to a respectable business. He was soon after appointed attorney general of the district. The depredations of the Indians upon the new country frequently called him into active military service with his fellow citizens; among whom he was distinguished by his energy and valor. Thus conspicuous, he was selected, in 1796, as a delegate to the convention for forming a constitution for the state; and was in the same year elected to the lower house of congress. In the year following, he was delegated to the national senate, in which he took his seat, but resigned at the close of the session, alleging his distaste for the intrigues of politics. Within that period he was chosen major general of the Tennessee militia, and held the office until called to the same rank in the United States service in 1814. Upon his retirement from the national legislature, General Jackson was appointed to the bench of the supreme court of the state, an office which he accepted with diffidence and reluctance, and soon resigned, retiring from public life to his farm on the Cumberland river, near Nashville. Here he passed several years in the pursuits of agriculture, until summoned by the second war with Great Britain to take an active part in the defence of the country. He proceeded in the winter of 1812, at the head of twenty-five hundred volunteers, to the duty assigned him by the general government, of defending the lower states, and descended the Ohio and Mississippi to Natchez, where he had been instructed to await further orders. The danger of the anticipated invasion being dispelled, Jackson was directed by the secretary of war to disband his troops on the spot. But a large number of his men being then sick, and destitute of the means of returning home, he felt bound by obligations to them and their families to lead them back, and to disregard an order made without the knowledge of his peculiar circumstances. This purpose he effected, sharing with his men in all the hardships of the return. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
