- Zusatztext
- As the first president to occupy the White House for an entire term, Thomas Jefferson shaped the presidents residence, literally and figuratively, more than any of its other occupants. Remarkably enough, however, though many books have immortalized Jeffersons Monticello, none has been devoted to the vibrant look, feel, and energy of his still more famous and consequential home from 1801 to 1809. InMonticello on the Potomac, James B. Conroy, author of the award-winningLincolns White Houseoffers a vivid, highly readable account of how life was lived in Jeffersons White House and the young nations rustic capital.
- Kurztext
