Road to Monticello - K. Haynes

Another study of Thomas Jefferson, but with a difference: this one focuses on Jefferson s thought, especially on its development from his youth. The book s freshness and immediacy lie in the author s emphasis on the libraries Jefferson accumulated and the marginal notes he left in the books he read. Hayes, a scholar of reading habits and print culture, takes us through Jefferson s hugely wide and eclectic reading with an ease and lightness often missing from a subject central to American history
