The American History Series
The Jacksonian Era
by Robert V. Remini
second edition
This softcover is well-worn but is in good condition and has many years of life left. There is underlining and marginalia but it does not interfere with the readability of the text. The worst case is pictured (click to enlarge the second photo).

Synopsis
This edition is a
fast-paced and colorful narrative of the social, cultural, and
political climate that breathed life into "Jacksonian Democracy." In
his inimitable style, Remini crafts a memorable portrait of Jackson:
the young hellraiser and war hero; the stern judge; the determined
campaigner; and, finally, the chief executive of the people. Other
leading political figures, such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, are
paid due attention and discussions of the vital issues of the day--the
Bank War, Indian removal, the states' rights conflict, and slavery--are
nicely balanced by attention to the era's various reform, religious,
and artistic movements. Included in this edition is an extensive photo essay.
Written by one of the foremost authorities on Andrew Jackson, The
Jacksonian Era is simply a great read for anyone interested in Jackson
and his time.
