The petticoat affair : manners, mutiny, and sex in Andrew Jackson's White House

A stubborn man of deep principles, Andrew Jackson always reacted violently to what he saw as political or social injustice.

But nothing tested Jackson's resolve - and eventually his presidency - quite so much as the scandals surrounding Margaret "Peggy" Eaton, the brash and unconventional wife of his secretary of war.

  • "In The Petticoat Affair, prize-winning historian John F. Marszalek offers the first in-depth investigation of the earliest-and perhaps greatest-political sex scandal in American history. During Andrew Jackson's first term in office, Margaret Eaton, the wife of Secretary of State John Henry Eaton, was branded a "loose woman" for her unconventional public life.
