Memoirs of Andrew Jackson: Major-General in the Army of the United States; And Commander in Chief of the Division of the South (Classic Reprint)
(Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson, is justly holden by his country...)
Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson, is justly holden by his countrymen, was the inducement to present them with the following Memoirs of his Life. Ever since his name became identified with the glory of his country, the author has assiduously sought for the most authentic information relative to his origin, and his progress from humble life to his present elevation. The facts, relative to his parentage, his birth, education, and early pursuits, were derived from a Southern Correspondent, whose means of knowledge, entitles his communications to the character of absolute verity. From the early entrance of Gen. Jackson into public life, and from the laudable propensity of Americans to preserve, in the various periodical journals, detached incidents of the lives of American Worthies, it needs only industry and research to collate them. The manner in which they are arranged, and the style in which they are detailed, depends wholly upon the author. To give additional interest to the volume, a number of Gen. Jackson s Official Reports, and some selections from his numerous Letters, and Addresses are incorporated into the work. They not only give the most satisfactory account of the battles in which he fought, and the measures he pursued ;but they show that he wields the pen of a Scholar, as well as the sword of a Soldier. Apologies for the defects of the work, cannot remove them, and will not be attempted. It is therefore submitted to the indulgence of the reader by, THE AUTHOR. Hartford, (C onn.) Oct.
