Bibliography of Andrew Jackson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Jackson by James Tooley Jr., 1840

The following is a list of important scholarly resources related to Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson, I am given to understand, was a patriot and a traitor. He was one of the greatest of generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war. A writer brilliant, elegant, eloquent, without being able to compose a correct sentence, or spell words of four syllables. The first of statesmen, he never devised, he never framed a measure. He was the most candid of men, and was capable of the profoundest dissimulation. A most law-defying, law-obeying citizen. A stickler for discipline, he never hesitated to disobey a superior. A democratic autocrat. An urbane savage. An atrocious saint.

— James Parton, Life of Andrew Jackson (1860)[1]
