[Jackson, Andrew]:

$375 · Offered by William Reese Company

AN IMPARTIAL & TRUE HISTORY OF THE LIFE & SERVICES OF MAJOR-GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON [caption title]. An unidentified edition of this pamphlet attacking Andrew Jackson, published during the 1828 presidential campaign. Includes a brief history of Jackson's life and military career, specifically during the War of 1812. Stories and dates were taken from John Eaton's 1824 book, THE LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON..., though Eaton's work was pro-Jackson and the present publication puts a distinctly dastardly spin on Jackson's wartime deeds. Several works with this title in Shoemaker, though not this edition. Miles suggests Portsmouth, New Hampshire as the place of publication, based on a manuscript note on another copy. The final lines of text do appeal to the "Freemen of New Hampshire," urging them to vote for a local candidate who supports John Quincy Adams in the presidential race.
