Additional Details

Here the fictional Seba Smith character Major Jack Downing is imagined as a member of President Andrew Jackson's informal "Kitchen Cabinet," an informal group of advisers he preferred to his actual cabinet. As the barefoot major swings a cane to break up the brawl, Jackson peers out from a darkened closet with a grin. None in OCLC, none traced at auction since 1971.
