Most people know General Jackson and President Jackson; few know young Andrew Jackson, attorney at law, practising at Jonesboro in 1788 when it was the seat of a county of North Carolina. Allison gathers such neglected threads of early Tennessee history, from the character of the frontier settlers to the old laws that governed their money and their debts.
