Dive into the Early Life of Thomas Jefferson: Uncover the Childhood, Influences, and Journey to Adulthood of America's Founding Father.

Experience a unique journey into the early life of Thomas Jefferson, the man behind the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson From Boy to Man illuminates the lesser-known years of this iconic American figure, providing a detailed account of his childhood, college years, and emergence into adulthood.

A must-read for students of history, social studies educators, history buffs, Jefferson enthusiasts, and members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. Drawing from extensive research and featuring over 75 photographs, Jayne D'Alessandro-Cox unveils the pivotal experiences and influences that shaped Jefferson's character.

From his birthplace at Shadwell to his time at Tuckahoe Plantation and Monticello, delve into Jefferson's world as a young boy and witness his transformative journey to manhood. Discover how the Age of Enlightenment influenced his beliefs, values, and vision for a new nation.

While Jefferson remains a figure of controversy, primarily due to his ownership of slaves, this book aims to provide a balanced and informed perspective. As someone who initiated the abolition of slavery discussion in Congress, it is essential to understand his early influences and upbringing in mid-18th century Virginia.

Whether you're a student, educator, historian, or simply someone keen to learn more about America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson From Boy to Man offers an in-depth look into the life of a man who dared challenge the norms of his era.
