Excerpt from A Brief and Impartial History of the Life and Actions of Andrew Jackson: President of the United States It may be set down as almost a miracle, that he found no lawyer Settled in 'nashville, where he first set up his staff of rest. Consequently he was welcomed with a shower of briefs, and the very morning succeeding his arrival he issued no less than seventy writs. His presence soon became a terror to the debtors in the place, of whom the number was not small, and he was consequently involved in a great many broils, through which his native energy carried him with more credit to his courage than to his discretion. In 1789, Mr. Jackson formed an acquaintance that was to have a powerful influence on his future reputation and happiness. We would fain pass over this matter in silence, in mercy to him, as major Eaton has done, were it consistent with the duty of a biographer. As it is, we shall merely detail the facts relating to this connexion, without comment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
