Andrew Jackson was a US President so well-loved that men voted for him 15 years after his death. This book chronicles the fight to control the old Southwest, the huge territory stretching from the Appalachians to the Mississippi and from the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico. John Buchanan details Jackson’s exploits from his days as an Indian fighter to his defeat of the British at the Battle of New Orleans (1815) - the stunning victory that made him a national hero and paved the way for him to become the President who gave his name to an age.
