First Ladies: The Leading Women in Andrew Jackson's Life with Dr David Hume
Discover the deeply personal side of America's seventh President through the remarkable women who shaped his journey—from boyhood to the White House.
This insightful talk explores the lives and legacy of three influential women:
• Elizabeth "Betty" Jackson – his mother, whose strength and guidance defined his early years.
• Rachel Donelson Jackson – the great love of his life, whose loss profoundly impacted him.
• Emily Donelson – his devoted niece who served as First Lady during his presidency after Rachel's passing.
A moving and human story of family, love, resilience, and the path to power.
Accompanied by light refreshments.
