Googling....
This seems to be the name of an American president
1829�37 lived 1767 to 1845. Same guy?
Scotch-Irish, orphaned in the Revolution, military
hero, duellist. "He was one of the greatest of
generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war",
someone said. One of his duels was fought over a
gambling incident, so we can add that to Broyan's list
of low-class hobbies.
Yes, lots of things we can borrow here.
"He was also the first president to be the target of
an assassination attempt, albeit by a madman who
thought he was heir to the British throne."
Read "Sartarite"....
Oh, and he had no kids but adopted one of his wife's nephews.
