This was an interesting read about Andrew Jackson's run for president in 1828. There is a lot of material to wade through regarding Jackson and his opponent, John Quincy Adams. I was intrigued to learn that the Democratic party was started when Jackson ran for president and the ideals they set forth for the party. Even back then, they were not immune to mudslinging. The situation with Andrew's wife, Rachel, was brought up. While this is factual, the timeline seems to have been skewed a bit in this novel.
The novel is very formal, but that is how people spoke and acted in the early 1800s, so it felt very true to the time period.
I can't imagine how much research went into writing this book. It was an emotionally charged election for the time as our country continued to grow and expand. Hot topics were debated. Some were implemented, and others were not, much like today's world.
If you enjoy history, especially surrounding past presidents, you might enjoy this look at Andrew Jackson. I also enjoyed the mention of the Hermitage in Nashville since I have family close to that location. We give this book 4 paws up.

Majorly disappointed
Reading this book was akin to chewing broken glass. Self-serving, made up, dialogue with no historical basis. The author was hard pressed to write a paragraph containing more than two sentences. I would have given it a “no stars” rating if the option had been available to me. Total waste of time and money.
