Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of America Series, Vol. 34 Some such unconscious selection as this has been at work in the classification of our representa tive men. The building of the nation and the liter ary expression of its purpose and ideals are tasks which have called forth the strength of a great variety of individuals. Some of these men have proved to be peculiarly fitted for a specific service, irrespective of the question of their general intel lectual powers, or their rank as judged by the standard of European performance in the same field. Thus the battle of New Orleans, in Euro pean eyes a mere bit of frontier fighting, made Andrew Jackson a hero as indubitably as if he had defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. It gave him the Presidency.
