The Papers of Andrew Jackson: 1825-1828

This is the sixth in a planned 16-volume set, bringing together the full text of the most significant letters and documents by and to Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) in a format accessible to serious scholars and general readers alike. It focuses on the presidential campaign of 1828, one of the longest in American history, in which Jackson was the recipient of endless mudslinging. The documents are presented in chronological order, primarily reproduced exactly as they were written. Introductory notes and footnotes have been added for context and continuity, and to identify persons, places, and events, usually at their first appearance in the text. Moser is with the U. of Tennessee; Clifft is assistant editor with the Jackson Papers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
