Indian Fighter, Pioneer, Warrior
Bowers, Claude G. | March 13, 1929 issue

This article literally appraises the book "Andrew Jackson; The Gentle Savage," by David Karsner. Here are three Andrew Jacksons: the Indian fighter, pioneer, and warrior; the gentle man of the Hermitage; and the stern champion of the people in the White House, whose hatred of a moneyed aristocracy was so devastating to the National Bank. Mr. Karsuer has discussed all three sympathetically, though the last is less impressively interpreted than the first two. Few figures in our history lend themselves more perfectly to the purposes of romance, for Jackson was a veritable D'Artagnan of the frontier, with most of the glittering qualities of the brilliant Gascon.
