Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty Years of Public Service: Personal Recollections of Shelby M. Cullom, Senior United States Senator From Illinois
About the period of my birth General Andrew Jackson was first elected President of the United States. Jackson to me has always been an interesting character. Theodore Roosevelt has declared very little respect for him, and has written deprecatingly I might say, even abusively of him. But the truth is, there were never two Presidents in the White House who, in many respects, resembled each other more nearly than Jackson and Roosevelt.
