Attempted assassination of Andrew Jackson described by a printer
A letter to The News and Courier recounts the 1835 Jackson assassination attempt by Richard Lawrence in Washington. It quotes eyewitness details of the moment, the President’s response, and testimony about political figures allegedly connected, framed as a historical note from J. J. D. Darlington dated Sept. 10. The text also oddly includes an unrelated medical ad fragment.
