John H. Eaton's _Life of Andrew Jackson_ (1842)
describes Jackson's earlier career, mainly on the military side; but
it never rises above the level of a campaign document.
Among biographies of Jackson's contemporaries may be mentioned George
T. Curtis, _Life of Daniel Webster_, 2 vols. (1870); Henry C. Lodge,
_Daniel Webster_ (1883); John B. McMaster, _Daniel Webster_ (1902);
Frederic A. Ogg, _Daniel Webster_ (1914); Carl Schurz, _Henry Clay_, 2
vols. (1887); Gaillard Hunt, _John C. Calhoun_ (1908); William M.
Meigs, _The Life of John Caldwell Calhoun_, 2 vols. (1917); John T.
Morse, _John Quincy Adams_ (1882); Edward M. Shepard, _Martin Van
Buren_ (1888); Theodore Roosevelt, _Thomas Hart Benton_ (1888); and
Theodore D. Jervey, _Robert Y. Hayne and His Times_ (1909).
On many topics the reader will do well to go to monographs or other
special works. Thus Jackson's policy of removals from public office is
presented with good perspective in Carl R. Fish, _The Civil Service
and the Patronage_ (Harvard Historical Studies, xi, 1905).
