"The Hermitage, Home of Old Hickory" by Stanley F. Horn is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book centers on the life and legacy of Andrew Jackson, particularly as it relates to his famed residence, The Hermitage, which served as a home for him and his family before and after his presidency. It explores not only Jackson's personal journey but also offers insights into the hospitality and community spirit of the era. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the reputation of Andrew Jackson as a gracious host at The Hermitage. It recounts the reflections of a neighbor who noted how warmly Jackson welcomed everyone, rich or poor, into his home. The text delves into the background and significance of The Hermitage itself, outlining Jackson's life from before he came to Nashville and his rise to prominence. It also touches on Jackson's achievements, challenges, and the enduring legacy of his home, which remains a national historic site, vividly preserving the memory of Jackson's complex persona and the time he lived in.
