Noted historian and biographer H.W. Brands will be at Borders West, 3750 University Avenue on Wednesday night at 7 pm to discuss his new biography of Andrew Jackson. Brands has also written biographies of Teddy Roosevelt and Benjamin Franklin.
According to Borders:
"The most famous American of his time, Andrew Jackson is a seminal figure in American history. The first "common man" to rise to the presidency, Jackson embodied the spirit and the vision of the emerging American nation; the term "Jacksonian democracy" is embedded in our national lexicon."
