2908 The Jefferson Image in the American Mind, by Merrill D. Peterson (read 15 Sep 1996) I much enjoyed the author's great book Lincoln in American Memory, and so decided to read this book. This book is considerably more theoretical than the Lincoln book, and while the shifts in view as to Jefferson are interesting it is harder to get excited about than such as to Lincoln. The bibliography is thorough but dated. I did not greatly enjoy the book, though it said interesting and good things. ( )
