Jefferson in his own words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have been reading about the founding fathers for some time and decided to get this book because Jefferson is an obsession of mine. The Quotes in this great book range from his thoughts on the governments of the U.S. and France, thoughts on family, contemporaries, food, books, morals and everything in between. The quotes are funny and inspiring. If you have an interest in Jefferson, then this book is for you.
Thomas Jefferson-Essential Letters And Quotations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Thomas Jefferson was a man of many facets. Among these were the power of words, chosen carefully from the English language. He loved and excelled in writing letters, and this book contains over 500 subjects that he chose to write about. Tho the book is small in size with over 500 pages, it gives one an insight into the enormity of this President's capacity.
