Henry Wiencek - Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves
Left Bank Books, Monday, October 15, 2012 at 7pm
Venue: Left Bank Books - Central West End
Is there anything new to say about Thomas Jefferson and slavery? The answer is a resounding yes. Henry Wiencek's eloquent, persuasive book--based on new information coming from archeological work at Monticello and on hitherto overlooked or disregarded evidence in Jefferson's papers--opens up a huge, poorly understood dimension of Jefferson's world. We must, Wiencek suggests, follow the money.
