Rachel Jackson, wife of President Andrew Jackson, never wanted to be First Lady and tried to dissuade her husband from his political ambitions. Yet she publicly supported his political advancement and was the first wife of a presidential candidate to take to the campaign trail. Privy to his political decisions, she offered valued counsel, and Jackson sometimes regretted not taking her advice. Denied a traditional education by her father, Rachel's innate business savvy made the Jacksons' Tennessee plantation and businesses profitable during her husband's continual absences. This biography chronicles the life of a First Lady who rebelled against 19th-century constraints on women, overcame personal tragedies to become an inspirational figure of persistence and strength, and found herself at the center of one of the vilest presidential smear campaigns in history.

The Burkes were originally Anglo-Irish. There were several Burk families which immigrated to America in the middle 1600s and early 1700s and settled in Virginia. Among those Burks was Sam Burk who settled in Byrd Creek and James Burk who settled along the New River and later in Surry County, North Carolina. Two other Burks were Thomas Burk who settled in Shenandoah and John Burk who settled near Thomas. Descendants live in Virginia and other parts of the United States.
