Andrew Jackson was tough; that's why he was known as "Old Hickory". He was physically tough, mentally tough and emotionally tough. Politically and militarily he was aggressive, self-confident, persistent, loyal, honorable, belligerent and stubborn; he was visionary and amazingly charismatic. Physically he was tall and skinny, 6 feet 1 inch tall (extremely tall for men of that time) and never more than 140 pounds. In his family life he was kindly and loving. He was devoted to his wife Rachel. The two of them adopted a nephew and adopted an orphaned Creek Indian boy; they also raised eight other children as guardians.
