Lessons in Manliness from Andrew Jackson

 

"He was described as both a quintessential man’s man, “fond of well-cut

clothes, racehorses, dueling, newspapers, gambling, whiskey, coffee, a

soft side: “there was more of the woman in his nature than in that of

any man I ever knew — more of a woman’s tenderness toward children, and

sympathy with them.”"
