Thomas Jefferson

by Michael Anderson (Editor)

As skilled at architecture and inventing as he was at politics, Thomas Jefferson was a man of many talents who was invaluable to the founding of the United States. After loaning his expertise to writing the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson went on to serve as the third U.S. president, nearly doubling the size of the United States during his term. Jefferson’s extraordinary life and accomplishments are recounted in this engaging volume.

[Tracie Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

There's nothing like a book for younger readers (in this case, Young Adults) for concise information! I learned things I hadn't known (but then, I'm not a huge history/politics buff, so I imagine a lot of folks already know everything that's here). This book, by Britannica Educational Publishing includes great illustrations, a glossary, a bibliography, a suggested reading list and an index.

Short book that gives an overview, but not an in-depth picture of Thomas Jefferson.
