Book Review of Jefferson and Monticello : The Biography of a Builder

Jefferson and Monticello : The Biography of a Builder
reviewed on


I ordered this book to read before a recent trip to Monticello and I'm sure that I gained much more from the visit because of it. The author does an outstanding job in providing much detailed information in an entertaining manner. The reader gets to know the homes of Thomas Jefferson, the man and many of the other family members and slaves as individuals. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in American history or classical architecture.
