Publisher Description

This is the first volume of distinguished historian Dumas Malone's Pulitzer Prize-winning six-volume work on the life and times of Thomas Jefferson. Based on a myriad of sources, it covers Jefferson's ancestry, youth, education, and legal career; his marriage and the building of Monticello; the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and the Notes on Virginia; his rich, fruitful legislative career; his highly controversial governorship; and his early services to the development of the West.

"Dry but informative. This is the first volume of Malone's six volume biography of Jefferson. Needless to say, it provides a wealth of information on Jefferson. If you are a student of Jefferson this is a must read."

    " Maybe it's a little overburdened with facts, but you won't find a better or more comprehensive introduction to Jefferson. Still have to read the other five volumes.... "

    " Malone is the quintessential Jefferson biographer, so this is a must-read if you're into Jefferson. Good details of Jefferson's early life in Virginia. "

    " A book from a different time. Published in 1948, this first of a projected multi-volume work gives Jefferson a bye on many of the controversy's which have since embroiled his life. Perhaps it's good the balance the current, tabloid gossip with a solid biography. "

    " Very comprehensive. Thouroughly pro-Jefferson, but that's expected in this sort of biography. "
