Book excerpt: Though remembered largely by history as Andrew Jackson's nephew, Andrew Jackson Donelson was himself a significant figure in nineteenth-century America: a politician, planter, diplomat, newspaper editor, and vice-presidential candidate. His relationship with his uncle and mentor defined his life, as he struggled to find the political and personal success that he wanted and his uncle thought he deserved. In Old Hickory's Nephew, the first definitive biography of this enigmatic man, Mark R. Cheathem explores both Donelson's political contributions and his complex, tumultuous, and often-overlooked relationship with Andrew Jackson. Born in Sumner County, Tennessee, in 1799, Donelson lost his father only five years later. Andrew Jackson soon became a force in his nephew's life, seeing in his namesake his political protégé. Jackson went so far as to predict that Donelson would one day become president. After attending West Point, Donelson helped establish the Jacksonian wing of the Democratic party and edited a national Democratic newspaper. As a diplomat, he helped bring about the annexation of Texas and, following in his uncle's footsteps, he became the owner of several plantations. On the surface, Donelson was a political and personal success. But few lives are so straightforward. The strong relationship between the uncle and nephew -- defined by the concept of honor that suffused the southern society in which they lived -- quickly frayed when Donelson and his wife defied his uncle during the infamous Peggy Eaton sex scandal of Jackson's first presidential administration. This resulted, Cheathem shows, in a tense relationship, full of distrust and suspicion, between Donelson and Jackson that lasted until the "Hero of New Orleans" died in 1845. Donelson later left the Democratic party in a tiff and joined the American, or Know Nothing, party, which selected him as Millard Fillmore's running mate in 1856. Though Donelson tried to establish himself as his uncle's political successor and legator, his friends and foes alike accused him of trading on his uncle's name to gain political and financial success. The life of Andrew Jackson Donelson illuminates the expectations placed upon young southern men of prominent families as well as the complexities and contradictions in their lives. In this biography, Cheathem awakens interest in a nearly forgotten but nonetheless intriguing figure in American history.

Download or read book Henry S Manley 1892 1967 written by Joyce Manley Forney and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK MAKES CLEAR HENRY S. MANLEY'S STATURE AS A SIGNIFICANT FIGURE REGARDING NEW YORK STATE AND, MORE BROADLY, UNITED STATES, LEGAL AND NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY AND SCHOLARSHIP. Henry S. Manley made legal history, was a skilled chronicler of history, and lived a life that reflected many facets of his far-ranging interests and capabilities. In Henry S. Manley (1892 - 1967) His Life and Writings: Early Pilot, Constitutional Lawyer, Innovative Farmer and Native American History Specialist the editors, HSM's direct descendants, present a substantial portion of his published and unpublished works in the fields of law, history, aviation, farming and genealogy replete with photographs and the editors' own explanatory notes. A highlight of this book is a complete reprint of HSM's seminal and long out-of-print 1932 book The Treaty of Fort Stanwix, 1784 as well as several of his articles on Native American history. Here, too, are some of his equally important legal articles, including "Nebbia Plus Fifteen", about the strategy he employed in successfully arguing the landmark Nebbia v New York case before the U.S. Supreme Court (decision handed down March 1934); and his wry and much admired "Mr. Justice Per Curiam", originally appearing under the title "Nonpareil Among Judges". Published for the first time, are HSM's evocative, and in one instance, somewhat harrowing, accounts of his experiences as a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot-trainee and, later, an instructor of pilots in Texas and Illinois during World War I. Available to the general public for the first time is his well-researched and sometimes humorous Manley Family, New England and New York, 1650-1950. Included in the book is the 1926 correspondence between Benjamin N. Cardozo, one of America's greatest judges, and HSM in which the former stated, "I have found your briefs very helpful and suggestive. You say things in an original way. A mind has been at work, and not a hand with scissors and paste pot." Readers are likely to agree with the cogency of that statement when they delve into HSM's writing.
