Amos Kendall (1789-1869)

Kendall was an American statesman and journalist. He was also one of the ablest and most influential members of the Kitchen Cabinet—a group of intimate advisers to President Andrew Jackson. He helped draft many of Jackson’s more important state papers, was chief counselor to Jackson in the controversy over rechartering the Bank of the United States, and vigorously defended administration policies in the newspapers. He was appointed United States Postmaster General by Jackson, thoroughly reorganizing a badly managed department.
