Tillfälligt slut
A close look at the tumultuous times in United States history named for its seventh president, Andrew Jackson, from a variety of viewpoints. This volatile political leader and war hero, though controversial, was the first president not born into the gentry, whose rise to power coincided with the growth of the "new" democracy. Focuses on two major internal problems, the Nullification Crisis and the Bank War; and also looks at related matters. Originally published by the Dryden Press in 1976.

Drawing on newspaper accounts, college yearbooks and the recollections of veterans, this book examines the impact of World War I on sports in the U.S. As young men entered the military in large numbers, many colleges initially considered suspending athletics but soon turned to the idea of using sports to build morale and physical readiness. Recruits, mostly in their twenties, ended up playing more baseball and football than they would have in peacetime. Though most college athletes volunteered for military duty, others replaced them so that the reduction of competition was not severe. Pugilism gained participants as several million men learned how to box.
