Jefferson's White House: Monticello on the Potomac by James B. Conroy
Jefferson's White House: Monticello on the Potomac by James B. Conroy
As the first president to occupy the White House for an entire term, Thomas Jefferson shaped the president's residence, literally and figuratively, more than any of its other occupants. Remarkably enough, however, though many books have immortalized Jefferson's Monticello, none has been devoted to the vibrant look, feel, and energy of his still more famous and consequential home from 1801 to 1809.
In Jefferson's White House, James B. Conroy, author of the award-winning Lincoln's White House, offers a vivid account of how life was lived in Jefferson's White House and the young nation's rustic capital and shines a light on Jefferson's use of the house to build change and reconciliation in a fiercely divided time.
