Andrew Jackson has the dubious honor of being the first President to have an assassination attempt made upon his life. Picture this: Sixty-three year old Andrew Jackson is walking across the Capitol Rotunda. Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter moves to the front of the crowd. He fires two pistol shots into the President. By luck, both pistols misfire. The aging Jackson charges the attempted assassin, beating him to the ground with his cane. Jackson was no stranger to death or weapons. In his lifetime he fought three duels, faced down the Creek Indians, and ultimately fought the final battle of the War of 1812 at New Orleans. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "I feel very much alarmed at the prospect of seeing General Jackson President. He is one of the most unfit men I know of for the place. He has had very little respect for laws or constitutions, and is, in fact, an able military chief. His passions are terrible. He has been much tried since I knew him, but he is a dangerous man." During the 1828 Presidential campaign Jackson's opponents took to calling him "jackass." Being the bad-ass he was Jackson liked the idea, and used it as his own for a while. Years later the donkey was adopted as the symbol of the Democratic Party. This short - 40 - page illustrated guide will tell you all you need to know to understand the Jacksonian Era in America... even if you know absolutely nothing about the South Carolina Nullifiers, the National Bank Crisis, or Indian Removal. In less than an hour, you'll learn all you need to know to impress your friends about Andrew Jackson, the Battle of New Orleans, the Creek and Seminole Indian Wars, and more...
The shock over the accidental murder of Rick Lewis's seventeen-year-old daughter destroys his career and his marriage. Relocating to South Mississippi, he responds to an urgent call to rescue his son. The boy, Andrew, has to learn to accept a new life in Mississippi, one so different from the one he knew in Chicago that even his father's love may not be enough to save him.
Political rivals Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay shaped American politics during the first half of the nineteenth century. Through a clear narrative and primary documents, the student is introduced to the political context, the language and debates of the day, in which the two men arose as spokesmen for their opposing parties, with widely differing views of democratic government.
This is the first unified treatment in book form of the lower K-groups of Bass and the lower L-groups of the author. These groups arise as the Grothendieck groups of modules and quadratic forms which are components of the K- and L-groups of polynomial extensions. They are important in the topology of non-compact manifolds such as Euclidean spaces, being the value groups for Whitehead torsion, the Siebemann end obstruction and the Wall finiteness and surgery obstructions. Some of the applications to topology are included, such as the obstruction theories for splitting homotopy equivalences and for fibering compact manifolds over the circle. Only elementary algebraic constructions are used, which are always motivated by topology. The material is accessible to a wide mathematical audience, especially graduate students and research workers in topology and algebra.

Ten Songs, some vocal and some instrumental, written by Lillian Bissell between 1923-1926. Her manuscripts were given to me by Anne Harrison Pember Zern in the early 2000's. These are ten of her original pieces, written fairly clean enough to play and sing directly from the original page. Light shadows are from strong contrast to bring the notes forward enough to see.
