“I do not in this volume write of Jefferson either as of
the great man or as of the statesman. My object is only
to give a faithful picture of him as he was in private life —
to show that he was, as I have been taught to think of
him by those who knew and loved him best, a beautiful
domestic character. With this view I have collected the
reminiscences of him which have been written by his
daughter and grandchildren. From his correspondence,
published and unpublished, I have culled his family let-
ters, and here reproduce them as being the most faithful
witnesses of the warmth of his affections, the elevation of
his character, and the scrupulous fidelity with which he
discharged the duties of every relation in life.”
Book Review
“Jefferson was a giant, and this book chronicles his extraordinary life through his letters and the letters of others, lovingly assembled and edited by his great-granddaughter. At various points, it is moving and tearful; elsewhere it is joyous and humorous. At all times, Jefferson's seemingly-unlimited talents and brilliance, as well as his qualities as a decent human being and his erudition, shine forth.
The greats of American history come alive through their correspondence and Jefferson's letters to others: Washington, Franklin, Adams, Madison, Monroe, Henry and Hamilton, to name just a few. Also, Lafayette and Bonaparte of France. We witness firsthand the American Revolution, this nation's founding, Jefferson's years in Paris, the French Revolution, and his presidency.
However, perhaps three things stand out most of all: the depth of his love for his family and the meticulous care with which he nurtured each family member; his love for Monticello and his desire to return there and be rid of the burdens of public office; and his relationship with John Adams that, once breached, is finally restored at the end of their lives.”
