| Summary | "The Reign of Andrew Jackson: A Chronicle of the Frontier in Politics" by Frederic Austin Ogg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex life and times of Andrew Jackson, focusing on his formative years as a frontier figure and his ascendance in American politics during a period of significant national change and expansion. The narrative sheds light on Jackson’s character, the socio-political landscape of his era, and the events that shaped him into a controversial yet monumental figure in American history. The opening of the book describes Andrew Jackson’s early life, detailing his Scottish-Irish roots and the journey his family took to settle in America after the 1763 Peace of Paris. It outlines the hardships faced by Jackson, including the early death of his father and the loss of many family members during the Revolutionary War, creating a backdrop for his later ambitions. Young Jackson's spirited and often reckless nature emerges through anecdotes of his childhood in the rugged Waxhaw settlement. The narrative sets the stage for Jackson's future as a soldier and politician, highlighting the formative influences of his frontier upbringing, his uncompromising character, and the community dynamics that would later play a role in his rise to political power.
