"old hickory"

just if you are wondering why people called him "old hickory", it was due to the fact that he was "tough as old hickory" plus he carried a hickory cane with him, which he would use to beat people silly with.

on that note lets talk about the first assassination attempt on a US president. on january 30, 1835, Richerd Lawrence attempted to kill andrew while he left a funeral, stepping out from behind a piller, he pulled his pistol and fired it at him point blank, but it misfired, luckily for Lawrence he had a backup plan, a 2nd pistol, he pulls it out and shoots again, and would you ever guess, it misfired as well, jackson realizing what just happend, jumps on Richerd beating him with his cane so bad jacksons guard's had to pull him off before he beat him to death,

but if he did beat Richerd to death that wouldn't be the first time he killed a man in office, actually he did it all the time, there's no written number of how many duels andrew was in during office, but it is widely accepted that he got into over 100 duels during his two terms. if you EVER questioned his honor, you could expect to be dueling him that day, and lets just remeber that he never lost......

the great cheese wheel

Andrew received a gift in 1835 of cheese, but not just any cheese, a wheel of cheese that weighed 1400 pounds, it was four feet in diameter and two feet thick, it was gifted by a dairy farmer in NY. Andrew never really had a plan for the wheel of cheese, but as the end of his 2nd term grew near he knew what had to be done, so at his last public reception at the White House, he threw a cheese party for everyone who wanted some, The reception’s 10,000 visitors attacked the wheel of cheese with such fervor that the entire thing was gone within two hours.
