Thomas Jefferson-From Boy to Man
by Jayne D'Alessandro-Cox
NOW IN AUDIO BOOK
If we could only
travel back to mid-18th century colonial Virginia and live in Thomas
Jefferson’s world, we might better understand this man of the Enlightenment who
dared to question the traditional customs and beliefs of his day. NOW IN AUDIO BOOK
Thomas Jefferson-From Boy to Man is a
biographical and autobiographical account of Jefferson's first 31 years of life
(1743-1774), an era that was virtually "in the shadows" until now.
Written in journal form and supplemented with historical background text, the
reader will be transported to the 18th century and get a "fly-on-the-wall"
perspective of Jefferson's childhood, friends, boarding school days, college and law
years, romance, fire, earthquakes, flood, deaths and much more. It includes
over 60 photos, many rare, to enhance the reader's imagination. It ends as
Jefferson is retiring from his Charlottesville law practice to get more
involved in politics with the Second Continental Congress, just two years prior
to his drafting of the Declaration of Independence.
Jayne D'Alessandro-Cox is a top-rated and critically acclaimed analytical historian that "hits a home run" with her "exclusive" book about Jefferson's first 31 years ... and it's getting 5-star reviews! The background text and journal entries, which include authentic quotes, will engage you as you reminisce along with Jefferson, as he passionately documents an intimate portrait of the joys and trials he faced on his journey to manhood.
Just released in audio book, you will hear British-born actor James Brinkley read as the 31- year old Thomas Jefferson, be transported in time, and experience life growing up in the Piedmont wilderness. Alexander Brinkley reads as the young college-age Tom, Eun Mee Ahn plays the violin solos ... and the result is magical!
As
you acquaint yourself with Thomas’ journey to manhood, you will ultimately
understand how this man, in that day, could later become the accomplished &
brilliant scholar, linguist, musician, lawyer, bibliophile, surveyor, planter,
naturalist, architect, statesman, founding father, philosopher, ambassador to
France, governor of Virginia, secretary of state under George Washington,
vice-president under John Adams, 3rd President of the United States,
inventor, family man, and sage, that was … Thomas Jefferson!
