| Summary: | In spite of Thomas Jefferson's myriad beneficial accomplishments in so many disciplines, he is best known for his political feats, both his successes (the Declaration of Independence, Louisiana Purchase and numerous bills drafted) and his failures (such as his spell as wartime governor of Virginia and the embargo during his second term as President). Consequently, though all collections of Jefferson's thousands of writings offer a sampling of the diversity of his interests, all compilations focus on Jefferson the politician, and that is regrettable for scholars with an interest in the breadth. |
