About This Item
1847 1ed Andrew Jackson by Frost CREEK War of 1812 Native American Illustrated
"It is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word."
― Andrew Jackson
John Frost's "Life of Andrew Jackson" is a rare, 19th-century account of the American president. However, this work focuses heavily on his military career – his involvement in the War of 1812, the Creek War, the Battle of New Orleans, and the Seminole Wars.
This fine first edition of Frost's 'Andrew Jackson' is complete with impressive, full-page engravings, views of Native American Indians and military scenes.
