Thomas Jefferson was a soft-spoken man. But his contributions to American democracy live on as bold reminders of his formidable intellect and spirit. Son of a wealthy famer, young Thomas was a studious boy who shared his father's love of books. He was painfully shy about speaking up in school, especially when other children taunted him. By age 16, though, Thomas had entered college, and began law school two years later. He was a man of many talents. Besides practicing law, he played the violin and designed Monticello, the beautiful home where he lived with his wife and family. As U.S. ambassador to France, as Secretary of State, as Vice President, and ultimately as President, Jefferson always stood for human freedom and equality. The question of slavery, however, remained a constant source of conflict. For Jefferson knew it was wrong - but at the same time, he himself was a slave owner. In this paperback edition, we have also added updated material about Sally Hemings and Jefferson's African American descendants. Giblin's eloquent, moving text and Dooling's exquisite oil paintings create a well-rounded portrait for a new generation of young readers.
