Foreword:

“The history of the Hermitage, Andrew and Rachel Jackson, their domestic life, their relations with their friends and her kin, is of charming interest. Mrs. Mary French Caldwell has recorded in this booklet much of this history that has not hitherto been published. She has made patient research into old records and other documents, bringing to light Jackson’s transactions in certain lands, his acquisitions of home site, and building and rebuilding of homes. She has restated who were his immediate kin by affinity and his atmosphere of life at the Hermitage in the years when its master was its beloved and dominating personality in the flesh.”
