(4) 4-6 Presidential Leaders series. This smoothly written biography of the seventh president of the United States strives to highlight Jackson's best side in the course of describing his life. Even his frequent demands for duels are explained as Jackson defending his honor and his family, with no mention of his legendary hot temper. Reproduced paintings serve as illustrations, and occasional quotes from primary documents appear throughout the text. Bib., ind.
