Drawing on letters and the recollections of his daughter and grandchildren, she follows him at Monticello through his marriage, widowhood, years in Paris and Washington, and long retirement, as a farmer, builder, father and grandfather writing tender letters to his family.
An affectionate family portrait, valuable for its letters though partial in its view, as family memoirs are. Download the free EPUB.
