So while I was away my dog Sawyer decided to read up on Jackson. #dogsoflitsy #mydogatemybook
Jackson mixed public and private business in ways that would be considered scandalous today, and were criticized even in the nineteenth century, when notions of ethics were different and not all details of his acts were known.
This book has been a little dry but very educational for me. While Catherine Beecher may have been known as an opponent of women's activism with respect to abolitionist movement it was she who started one of the first women's activism campaigns that fought to protect the rights of Native Americans.
My daughter read this for her AP History class last year and really enjoyed it. She chalked me to read it this year as I want to read more non-fiction. I may listen to the audiobook because Steve Inskeep reads it. #feistyfeb #presidentialreads
#currentlyreading this book for "litsyAtoZ. Anyone read this?
This has been on my to-read for a while. Now that it's in paperback and selling for less than one Tubman 😉🤑, I think I'll pick it up.
