Description

The reissue of an important biography of Jefferson originally published in 1942. Padover, the author of 30 books, 6 on Jefferson, was the Assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1939-1943. Here, Padover emphasizes Jefferson the democratic writer & thinker, but he has not neglected the personal aspects of Jefferson -- the father, husband, & friend. His long researches into Jefferson’s character & the extraordinary times in which he lived results in a complete biography that fills the reader with a sense of Jefferson’s living presence -- the author of the Declaration of Independence & the man who best personifies the spirit & hope that built this country in a period of severe testing. It is a spirit & hope that must now endure.
