Andrew Jackson an Epic in Homespun 1927

1927. Historians and biographers have written many estimates of Andrew Jackson's career that might fairly be summed up in his mother's words: "The General kicked the kivers off and we cotch cold.” The General kicked right lustily. He kicked off many of the warm wrappings that swathed the young republic from the bitter blasts of democracy. He kicked away the existing political system and substituted one more to his liking. He was the most uncomfortable of political bedfellows. The author tells the tale of Jackson in this light, with no holds barred. Illustrated.
