Jackson, Andrew, 1767-1845 -- Homes and haunts -- Tennessee; Tennessee -- History
A striking pair was composed of the man in whose veins circulated the
blood of four races, and who simultaneously held commissions in the
armies of three countries and was loyal to none (95); and the Choctaw
chief who was graduated at the University of Nashville, and of whom
Charles Dickens has said that he was “as stately and complete a
gentleman, of nature’s making,” as he had ever met (96). Another pair,
quite as striking, consisted of the first permanent settler at French
Lick (97), conversing volubly in his own tongue with a royal personage
who visited Nashville in his youth, and afterwards became a king (98).
Just then the presiding officer arose and gave a premonitory rap with
his gavel. As he did so, I saw slipping furtively out of a rear door
“the great western land pirate” (99), closely followed by the man who
was instrumental in bringing him to justice (100).
