Product Details:

The Brave Boy of the Waxhaws by Currier & Ives depicts a young Andrew Jackson during the American Revolution, defiantly refusing to clean the boots of a British officer after being captured. When Jackson resists, the officer strikes him with a sword, leaving lasting scars on his hand and head—an incident that symbolized his fierce patriotism and resilience. The image romanticizes this act of youthful defiance, portraying Jackson as a bold and courageous figure, and reflects 19th-century ideals of American heroism and resistance to oppression.
