Uncle Rick Reads The Land Hero of 1812 - CD version

Andy Jackson!  For over a hundred fifty years, American children have thrilled to the exploits of this legendary soldier, duelist, politician and Indian fighter.  Scarred for life by a saber cut from an arrogant British officer in the Revolutionary War, young Andrew held a lifelong grudge against the British and tyranny in all forms.  Jackson was the seventh President of the United States and guided the young nation through some dangerous and difficult times.  Yet perhaps he's best known as tough Old Hickory, the fiery leader of the American backwoods fighters who demolished the British attack on New Orleans in the climactic battle of the War of 1812.  Now the sons and daughters of modern America can once more listen, entranced to the true adventures of this bold, rough, cunning leader whose followers were willing to stick with him through any challenge.
