This is the story of the first three years of the Jackson presidency. The book covers other events in the United States during that period. Andrew Jackson himself is the focus of this work, but there were many actors on the national stage. Presidential attitudes toward the Native Americans shaped Indian policy. Jackson's cabinet supported his ideas on money, politics, and other issues. This book gives a true understanding of President Jackson. The real Jackson was a man of controversy and different from the usual conception of a flawless president. This is a concise history of power, passion, romance and honour.
(From the Preface) The Jackson Heritage Association is proud to offer this book as a sampling of the history of Jackson, the surrounding area, and the families that have had a part in making this county such a great place to live...Many more volumes could be written on the history of the towns, government, roads, and buildings of Cape Girardeau County; however, we wish to emphasize that this book is by, about, and for, the families of the area.
When a stagecoach is robbed of ten thousand dollars by a peculiarly tall highwayman, suspicion falls on Buck Thornton -- because of his height. At six-foot-four, he seemingly is a match for the figure spotted by the stage's passengers. But Buck knows he isn't the burglar. . . . small towns on the frontier have little or no law at all. There's no court to convince, no judge or jury to argue with to prove one's innocence. What there are are mobs that form spontaneously, convinced (as mobs will become) of what is obvoius -- even when it isn't so. In the land where survival of the fittest is the law, Buck must find the highwayman -- and save himself from the hangman.
