    I’m looking for really good biographies or historical books from early American history, specifically the 1810s to the 1850s. Up to this point, I’ve read:

    * Alexander Hamilton (Chernow)
    * John Adams (McCullough)
    * Washington: A Life (Chernow)
    * Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power (Meacham)
    * Undaunted Courage (Ambrose)
    * The Pioneers: The Heroic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West (McCullogh)

    Are there any biographies on Madison, Monroe, J. Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, etc or any non-presidents of the age that are REALLY good and worth checking out?
