Worst of friends : Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and the true story of an American feud
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson put aside their differences in the name of friendship.
BOOK
Jefferson in His Own Time
In this volume, Kevin J. Hayes collects thirty accounts of Thomas Jefferson written by his granddaughters, visiting dignitaries, fellow politicians, and others who knew him as a family man, public servant, intellectual, and institution builder. The letters and reminiscences of those who knew Jefferson personally reveal him to be a warm, funny man, quite unlike the solemn statesman so often limned in biographies.
To friends and enemies alike he was the model of a republican gentleman, profoundly knowledgeable in philosophy and natural history, able to converse in several languages, and capable of great wit but contemptuous of ceremony and fancy dress. Through these excerpts, we can see the nation's third president as his family knew him-a loving husband, father, and grandfather-and as his peers did, as a tireless public servant with a fondness for tall tales.
