Book Club - Our next book is American Lion:  Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon Meacham.

Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy.  As our seventh president, Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Jackson was the most contradictory of men.  The architect of the removal of Indians from their native lands, he was warmly sentimental and risked everything to give more power to ordinary citizens.  His story is one of violence, sex, courage, and tragedy.    

Join us.  All are welcome.
