"Andrew Jackson's Hermitage" by Mary French Caldwell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and significance of Andrew Jackson's home, known as the Hermitage, situated in the Tennessee Blue-Grass Region, detailing its transformation from a pioneer log cabin to an ante-bellum mansion. The narrative is rich with insights into Jackson's domestic life, his deep love and devotion to his wife Rachel, and the sociopolitical backdrop of their era. The opening portion of the book begins with a dedication to the women who helped preserve Andrew Jackson's historic estate. It sets the stage for an exploration of the Hermitage, emphasizing its role not only as a home but as a refuge for Jackson during tumultuous times. The text outlines Jackson's early land dealings, briefly recounts the history leading to his acquisition of the property, and introduces the importance of Rachel Jackson in their domestic sphere. Additionally, it hints at the influence of the Hermitage on Jackson's personal life and reflects on the significance of the land in the broader context of his political and military career.
