"The words of the Declaration of Independence, so familiar to us and so important to our country, were those of Thomas Jefferson. He was a primary force behind United States independence, he initiated public education ,he established a national library, and he paved the way for the abolishment of slavery. Without his influence, our country would be vastly different from the way it is today.
Jefferson contributed much to our country's birth. Time and time again he attempted to reture from politics, but was compelled to serve once more in order to help his fledgling country remain on its feet. His faith and dedication tot he idea of self-government never wavered, even in the face of many personal hardships.
Details of both Jefferson's political career and his personal life are shared here, including his many interests apart from politics: his beloved family, his talent for architecture his love of books and learning, and his profound respect for the ideas of philosophers who came before him. In this comprehensive biography, John B. Severance gives us an accurate and compelling portrait of a modest man whose convictions helped shape history."
