Happy 281st Birthday Thomas Jefferson
While Thomas Jefferson preferred to celebrate our nation’s birthday on July 4th, it’s once again time to wish him many happy returns of the day!
Born on April 13, 1743, at Shadwell in Albemarle County, Virginia, his legacy continues to stimulate study and lively conversation worldwide.
My biography of his only surviving brother, Randolph Jefferson, introduces readers to the private Thomas Jefferson. His roles as surrogate father, big brother, and uncle significantly shaped my study, resulting in the title The Jefferson Brothers.
For a limited time, it’s available at the discounted price of $25.00. 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!

Thanks for the positive review!
Happy birthday to Jefferson and hello to you!
Hello back to you Bea!
I strongly recommend this highly readable and well-researched book by Joanne Yeck. It is unsurprising that it is often cited by other historians.
