A Unique Perspective on Thomas Jefferson, August 3, 2006
This review is from: Thomas Jefferson Travels: Selected Writings, 1784-1789 (Hardcover)
As someone who has been reading about Thomas Jefferson for much of my life, and who has read many volumes of his correspondence, I find this selection of letters particularly impressive and illuminating. Anthony Brandt has chosen letters from Jefferson that let us see this man in all his complexity, showing us the statesman, the father, the friend, and the ever curious and discriminating traveler. But Brandt's judicious selection of letters to Jefferson from his large and varied circle make the portrait of this man and his time even more compelling. I am certain that this book will be indispensable for anyone who wishes to learn more about the endlessly fascinating Thomas Jefferson.
