      <![CDATA[Mr. Lind, as a student of the Creek Indian War and especially the roll of Andrew Jackson aka Old Hickory, I find your description of him very true and accurate. Though wounded from a duel, with quick spirit he took the charges from the President and his Governor, led and inspired his troops south into my state of Alabama where he was ready and able to fight.

      <![CDATA[Mr. Lind, your description of the men who fought under Andrew Jackson as "hardscrabble farmers and men with no pasts scratching out an existence"; an "army of Tennessee bumpkins"; and "a group of ragtag men” is questionable journalism.<br>
<br>
As a descendant of Tennessee settlers who fought in the War of 1812, as well as the Revolutionary War, and as a student of Tennessee history, I am outraged with your pejorative descriptions of those brave, self-sacrificing men who fought for freedom from tyranny and the rights of the individual to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some of these men were from educated, wealthy families; others were not so fortunate, but most of them had moral standards and ethics based on the Golden Rule.
