Description
Thomas Jefferson is the most researched, most written about, most referenced, and most quoted of our Founding Fathers. And yet, somehow, he remains the most stubbornly inscrutable. His life is a seemingly impenetrable thicket of contradictions. He was a die-hard American revolutionary who was also a dedicated lover of European culture and art. He advocated ruthless fiscal responsibility as president, yet his own finances were mired in debt.
