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 vast 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.

The second volume in this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography tells the story of the eventful middle years in the life of Thomas Jefferson: his ministry to France in the years just before the French Revolution and during the early stages of that conflict; his service as secretary of state in President George Washington's first cabinet; the crucial period of his first differences with Alexander Hamilton and the beginnings of his long struggle with the Federalists. .

'The Sage of Monticello' brilliantly recounts the accomplishments, friendships, and family difficulties of Jefferson's last seventeen years--including his retirement from Washington and the presidency, his correspondence with John Adams and James Madison, his mounting personal tribulations, and his role in the founding of the Library of Congress and the University of Virginia, where he proved himself to be an extraordinary educator and architect as well as a statesman. This is a fitting final chapter in the life of one of America's greatest men.

This is the third volume in Dumas Malone's monumental multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson and His Time.

A fascinating account of the details of Jefferson's first term, including the Louisiana Purchase, his duel with the Supreme Court & continued opposition to Hamiltonian doctrine, & his championing of science & learning at home & abroad.

Excerpt from Dictionary of American BiographyGrinnell's early connection with the whaling industry had caused him to take great interest in all matters connected with the sea and more par ticularly the arctic regions and their exploration. He had in consequence awaited the return of the Franklin Polar Expedition with more than or dinary anxiety, and when in 1850 over four years had passed and no tidings had been received of it, he bore the entire expense of fitting out two vessels, the Advance and Rescue, which under the command of Lieutenant De Haven, sailed from New York in May of that year in search of the lost explorer. Though the main object of the expedition was not achieved, land was discovered beyond Davis Strait and Baffin Bay which was named Grinnell Land. Undaunted by this fai1~ ure, in 1853 Grinnell placed the Advance at the disposition of Elisha Kent Kane for a second search, contributing assistance in other respects to Kane. Though this second expedition was equally unsuccessful and the Advance was lost, it attained the highest latitude ever reached by a sailing vessel. On later occasions Grinnell manifested his unabated interest in polar explora tions, contributing munificently to the voyage of Isaac I. Hayes to Ellesmere and Grinnell Lands in 1860 and to the Polaris venture of Charles F. Hall in 1871.
