Written and illustrated under the direction of the distinguished historian Henry Steele Commager, this biography of the third president will inspire young readers with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Handy classroom resource materials contained in each volume. One of our great political idealists, Jefferson played the key role in writing the world-shaking Declaration of Independence, and in establishing America's democratic form of government.

Thomas JEfferson and the AMerican Ideal,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thomas Jefferson and the American Ideal (Henry Steele Commager's Americans) (Paperback)
This book was excellant for a report I did on Jefferson. It is a pretty simple biography, easy to read. It gives basic information on Jefferson, but is not extremely in depth. Still,it was informative and worth reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of My Child's Favorite Books. Jefferson is Fascinating,
This review is from: Thomas Jefferson and the American Ideal (Henry Steele Commager's Americans) (Paperback)
This book is one of my nine-year-old's favorite books out of a huge book collection. Thomas Jefferson was a fascinating person and a great role model for learning. He was a scientist, farmer, inventor, writer of the Declaration of Independence, president, governor, diplomat, founder of the University of Virginia, advocate of public education, etc.This is one of the best children's books we have read. Highly recommended!
