Title Details
Description
Cunningham's skillful narrative pictures the public career of: (1) the author of the Declaration of Independence; (2) Governor of Virginia; (3) Minister to France; (4) Secretary of State; and (5) third President of the United States. He also shows the private side of this remarkable life: Jefferson the husband, father, planter and educator. The focus of this work, however, is upon Jefferson's dedication to reason from which flowed his dedication to natural law and the rights of man. Choice says this is "a must for college libraries." The New York Times Book Review refers to it as a "pithy and rational portrait"... of a "post-Renaissance genius at work."
