Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Letters of Andrew Jackson The originals of these letters are now in the posses sion of the writer. Even by his best biographers Jackson has often been described as illiterate, and for that reason the attempt has been made to make these letters as nearly exact copies of the originals as it is possible to secure with type. Every error of grammar, spelling, and the use of capitals has been faithfully copied, and even his peculiar punctuation is given. The proofs have been carefully compared with the original letters, to make sure that the proof-reader or compositor had not taken it upon himself to correct apparent errors. The reader will therefore be able to judge for himself just how illiterate Old Hickory really was. Of the thirty-four presidential elections that have been held under the Constitution only three have been in doubt when the Electoral Colleges have voted: those of 1800, 1824, and 1876. The second of these was from a variety of reasons the most interesting. It was the second time the election had been thrown into the House of Representatives; but in 1800 Jefferson and Burr had received a large majority of the electoral votes, and only because they had received the same number was Congress required to decide which should be the President. In the election of 1824, four candidates received electoral votes and no one had a majority of all. By the provision of the Constitution it became the duty of the House of Representatives to choose a President from the three who had received the highest number of electoral votes. Jackson had ninety-nine votes, Adams had eighty-four, Crawford forty-one, and Clay thirty-seven. Clay who was Speaker of the House of Representatives was out of the race, but on account of his position had a con trolling influence on the result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Letters of Andrew Jackson The correspondence which forms the major part of this paper covers the presidential campaign of 1824 and ends with a letter written after Jackson's return to Tennessee from Washington in May, 1825. So far as I know only one of these letters has ever been published. The letter of Jackson dated at Washington, February 22, 1825 is known as "the Swartwout letter" and was printed in the "National Advocate" in March 1825, and from that paper it was copied by Parton in his biography of Jackson. In all probability it was copied by many other newspapers of the period. Two other letters contain an invitation to Jackson from some of his sympathizers to attend a dinner, and Jackson's declination. This dinner invitation was known at the time, and is referred to by Parton, but I doubt if the letters themselves have ever before been printed. The originals of these letters are now in the possession of the writer. Even by his best biographers Jackson has often been described as illiterate, and for that reason the attempt has been made to make these letters as nearly exact copies of the originals as it is possible to secure with type.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Andrew Jackson, Vol. 1 Probably the first person to take thought of a life of Andrew Jackson was Jackson himself. His letters show that he began to preserve material for his biographer from the time he became a public personage. The drafts of the letters he wrote, the letters he received, and his simplest public papers were carefully filed away in boxes. Some of the papers were endorsed, To be kept for the historian. They became numerous with the wars against the Creeks and the British, his first great achievements; and out of that phase of life came his first biography. To Major John Reid, military aide, faithful companion in the darkest hours of trial, author of many of Jackson's military papers, and a man of real ability as his book shows was entrusted the task of preparing this story. He carried the narrative through the Creek war before it was interrupted by death in 1816. Jackson was concerned to find a man to complete the work, and at last hit upon John H. Eaton, then a promising young lawyer whose industry was so great that the book was placed before the public in 1817. Its origin, progress, and completion were all under the direct oversight of Jackson himself. Eaton brought out a second edition in 1828, with chapters bringing the story down to date. It was not a critical, work, but the parts which had no bearing on the political campaigns of 1824 and 1828 were well written. Reid particularly recommends himself as a straightforward historian.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Wyoming: To the People of the United States, on the Presidential Election, and in Favour of Andrew Jackson At the formation of our government, the best and happiest the world has ever seen, no controversy existed as to who should preside over the destinies of the nation. One flushed with success, and at the head of a victorious army, was call ed to take charge of the government. He was a military man, and the nation, so far from apprehending a capacity or disposition on his part, to subvert the liberty he had ao quired for his country, confided with one voice her destinies tothis hands. Then was it not an inquiry, who could write a paragraph with the greatest classical purity; or who, the most finished veteran at intrigue the question was, who is he, that, fearless of consequences, and regardless of dan ger, has breasted the storm in the hour of peril, and risked himselffor the country. There was a virtue with the Ame rican people then, which would have bade them spurn from their confidence, that man, who, by any effort, however dis guised, could have manifested a wish to elevate himself to the Presidential chair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Andrew Jackson Other aspirants were Roger B Taney, George Bancroft, and Amos Kendall. The last was given the promise of the papers. He began to write in 1842 when he had lost the auditorship to which his patron appointed him. He was then poor financially and expected large returns from his venture. He began to publish it in parts, announcing that fifteen would complete the enterprise. Jackson placed the en tire collection of papers at his disposal, and two visits to the Hermitage gave fair Opportunity to get all it contained. He carried away to Washington many of the most immr tant papers and had not returned them when Jackson died in 1845. His work was interrupted when seven instalments had appeared, and it was not completed. Jackson was not pleased with the numbers which he saw, but did not withdraw the papers. There was a plan on foot to build a Jackson memorial in Washington, and he desired them to be handed over by Kendall, when he had finished with them, to Frank P. Blair to hold until the memorial was completed when they were to be deposited there. The least valuable of the collection were not taken to Washington by Kendall, and these went to Blair from Jackson himself. Later Kendall turned over a part of those in hand to Blair, but the latter complained that the most valuable were not delivered. Blair also said that Kendall would yet publish a life of Jackson, written to glorify the writer of it; and he intended to charge his sons to write a true biography which would counteract the errors he expected to be in Kendall's. This, so far as the letters show, is all the basis that existed for the assertion that Blair was to write the life.
