Excellent
Review by Becky V.
Though this book might be a little hard to get through due to the original language being kept as it was written, about 1850, it is worth the read. The book begins with Andrew Jackson’s birth, occurring in 1767, and takes you on a journey of the highs and lows of his life, ending in 1845. Each chapter includes a quick summary of what is included in that specific chapter - making it very easy to focus on a specific point in history, if desired.

I really enjoyed reading through this and loved that the text was written in a way that brought you into the story. It is interesting, exciting, and fascinating, all while remaining true to history. I really enjoyed the speeches and communications that were given either about Andrew Jackson or by him personally at the end of the book.

This is an excellent biography of Andrew Jackson and a great way to learn about key events in our history and about the life and faith of a great US president and leader.
