At the White House, in 1962, a dinner was given to honor a number of Nobel Prize winners. President John Kennedy called his assembled guests "the most extraordinary collections of talents... that has ever gathered together at the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Jefferson's many talents led him to remarkable achievements including the founding of the University of Virginia, writing the Declaration of Independence, and being elected the third president of the United States. His is one of the most fascinating stories in American history.
In a lively, readable style, Robert Quackenbush tells the inspiring story of how Thomas Jefferson became one of America's truly great founding fathers.
