Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with photos and reproductions of more than 150 valuable and historic items from Thomas Jefferson's library, this companion volume to a Library of Congress bicentennial exhibition portrays the complex character, ideals, and motivations behind the founding achievements of this brilliant son of the Enlightenment. The book's lively narrative—from contributors like Joseph J. Ellis and Annette Gordon-Reed, and illuminated by Jefferson's own words—interweaves his public career (delegate to the Continental Congress, author of the Declaration of Independence, governor of Virginia, third U.S. president) and his life at his Virginia plantation Monticello.
