Happy Birthday Thomas Jefferson!

Born on April 13, 1743, at Shadwell in Albemarle County, Virginia, Thomas Jefferson’s contributions to American politics and culture continue to stimulate all manner of conversation and study.

While researching the life of his younger brother, Randolph, I was delighted to learn more about the private Thomas Jefferson—the surrogate father, the big brother, the uncle. In the end, Thomas was such an important part of Randolph Jefferson’s story that he shaped the title of my book: The Jefferson Brothers.

You can purchase The Jefferson Brothers online at Braughler Books, where you will find a PDF of the first chapter to whet your appetite for more!
