Reprint of the 1871 ed. published by Harper, New York.
Drawing on her childhood at Monticello and her memories of her great-grandfather,
the author recalls the private side of a public family. Although
the letters are included in the numerous editions of Jefferson's
papers, the work's unique quality derives from the anecdotes and
personal comments of Jefferson family members.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jefferson's birth,
Susan Stein, curator at Monticello, organized an exhibit of the
personal belongings of the owner. Nearly 300 objects, such as prints
and drawings, furniture, decorative items, musical instruments,
and personal objects, were assembled and displayed within Monticello
as if the Jefferson family was in residence. The provenance of each
item is extremely useful in tracing the history of Jefferson's belongings
after the 1827 sale. This work, when coupled with the Eye
of Thomas Jefferson, interprets Jefferson as both a collector
and consumer and draws together the private, public, and political
spheres of the 3rd President.
