Andrew Jackson is both one of the most significant and
controversial United States Presidents. This book follows Jackson's
life and death through the lives of six women who influenced both
his politics and his persona. His mother, Elizabeth Hutchinson
Jackson, introduced him to their Scots-Irish heritage. Jackson's
wife, Rachel Donelson Jackson provided emotional support and a
stable household throughout her life. Emily Donelson, his niece,
was the White House hostess for most of his presidency and was one
of the few women to stand up to Jackson's overbearing nature. She,
along with Rachel Jackson and Mary Eaton (the wife of Jackson's
Secretary of War) was also involved in the Petticoat Affair, a
historic scandal that consumed the early Jackson administration.
His daughter-in-law, Sarah Yorke Jackson, and niece, Mary Eastin
Polk, supported Jackson in his retirement and buttressed his
political legacy. These six women helped to mold, support, and
temper the figure of Andrew Jackson we know today.
