An American Lion

Fast Facts about Andrew Jackson- 7th President

Only President to pay off the national debt

Held public parties at the White House

Dueled and killed someone who insulted his wife

Had a temper, obviously

While in Nashville recently, I stopped off at the home of Andrew Jackson. I always try to see some history when I travel. Unless I am in Las Vegas which has no history.
Also am reading a bio of Jackson that Levi suggested, called 'The American Lion.' Jackson doesn't get the hype of Jefferson, Washington & Lincoln, but he was a big dog of a president.

Plus I always like to see him on a $20.
 Seeing the Hermitage, which is maintained superbly, is a trip back in time.
