I remember a quote that stood out to me years ago when I was reading some old book in a library, maybe it was a biography of Andrew Jackson, or maybe it was mentioning the early Tennessee political history, but it gave a quote about Andrew Jackson, supposedly by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and it went something like this:
Such was his native strength, that every man who came in under his influence became his tool; the more cunning the man, the more cunning the tool.
Is this quote from Hawthorne? What is the exact quote? What book was I reading?
