Excerpt from General Andrew Jackson: Hero of New Orleans and Seventh President of the United States Because every human being thus wishes to become great and good and noble, according to his or her standard of greatness; goodness and nobleness, there is not a boy or girl, not a man or a woman who does not sympathize with the struggles and the triumphs of heroes and heroines, and love to read the history of their lives. And so I am encouraged in the hope that everybody who sees it will enjoy the reading of the life-story which I am about to tell them of one of the greatest heroes who ever lived in this world, and who is known to history and to fame as Andrew Jackson, Judge Jackson, Senator Jackson, General Jackson, President Jackson, Old Hickory Jackson. This celebrated hero was born in poverty and obscurity. It is doubtful if there is a boy or a girl who will read this story of Andrew Jackson's life who is as poor as he was in his childhood, or who is encountering as great obstacles as he encountered, or suffering hardships and privations as bitter as those which he suffered. But, fortunately, poverty, obstacles, hardships and privations are not the worst things which can befall a child of destiny. They are, in fact, more likely to be blessings than mis fortunes. Cast the bantling on the rocks, Suckle him with the she wolf's teat; Wintered with the hawk and fox. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
