I am so enamored by this bonnet that I have asked a couple of people if they would be able to make something similar for me to wear. Keep your fingers crossed!

Gracy was one of Jackson's enslaved women who, I believe, worked in the house.

The white dress looks like a modern-era wedding dress. The story of Rachel and Andrew is a bit sad, she died just a few weeks after he won the presidential election. He was widower president. Love the details on the clothing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your observations. Rachel and Andrew were very romantic. Andrew Jackson went against popular opinion to marry her, and stay married to her due to her non-divorce - divorce. They were deeply in love, I think. When she died, he still would not anyone talk bad about her, nor anyone else that he felt innocent. The Jacksons' love story is very interesting.
