Book Club: Feb 1, Annette Gordon-Reed and Peter Onuf, Most Blessed of the Patriarchs: Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination
Chair: Marty Klein
“With characteristic insight and intellectual rigor, Annette Gordon-Reed and Peter Onuf have produced a powerful and lasting portrait of the mind of Thomas Jefferson. This is an essential and brilliant book by two of the nation’s foremost scholars — a book that will, like its protagonist, endure.” (Jon Meacham) At the heart of the mystery is how Jefferson reconciled his roles as revolutionary, republican statesman, and plantation patriarch. His aspirations and contradictions may well reflect America itself.
