Hermitage (opposite preface in extra-illustrated Life)
Description
An image of the Hermitage, Jackson’s home in Tennessee, appears opposite the first page of the Preface in the extra illustrated Jackson biography, A Brief and Impartial History. Jackson purchased the land for the plantation in 1804, and he and his beloved wife Rachel lived in various log structures on the site until the house was completed in 1819.
