Changed my view of Old Hickory from a hot-headed Westerner to a calculating backwoods gentleman.

Quite a character, both child soldier, orphan, lawyer, Indian killer, general, president. Probably not easy to be with, could be rash and manipulative. Scheming politician and demagogue. Did what suited his (sometimes idiosyncratic) interests.
