SPECIAL INFORMATION:

Anyone could come to Andrew Jackson's public parties at the White House, and just about everyone did! At his last one, a wheel of cheese weighing 1,400 lbs. was eaten in two hours. The White House smelled of cheese for weeks.

Andrew Jackson, first frontier President, came to the office with great popular support.
