He was born into poverty orphaned when he was very young.

He often dueled other men, and escaped death many times.

He was the first president to take a train ride.

He's depicted on the twenty dollar bill.

He was the first president born in a log cabin (but surely not the last).

He was the first president to survive an assassination attempt, when an unemployed house painter attempted to shoot, although both weapons he had failed to fire.

His nickname was Old Hickory.

His pet parrot was present at his funeral, but had to be removed from the ceremony because it was swearing.

He was the only president to completely pay off the national debt.
