DESCRIPTION:
Dumas Malone series Skeeter06 So far I've read two of the five books in this series and have enjoyed both! The books are very detailed and obviously a lot of research went into writing them. Anyone who's a history geek like myself will definitely like these books. :-) I have volumes IV and V, and plan to purchase volume III soon.. Ricardo Mio said Jefferson as Artist & Architect. Had I met Dumas Malone I’m certain I would have liked him, judging by the amiable tone of his Thomas Jefferson biography. No doubt, he did future scholars a great service by his exhaustive research and attention to detail in producing a grand narrative of Jefferson’s life. That said, his portrait is flawed because it attempts to portray the slave-holding Virginia aristocrat as a man of highest principle and beyond recall. This book was published in 1951, and since that time a number of scholars have thoroughly debunked Malone’s idealized portrait, and rightly so. The Foundin. Ken Bittancourt said Five Stars. a very detailed discussion of Jefferson.
The second volume in this Pulitzer Prize-winning six-volume biography tells the story of the eventful middle years in the life of Thomas Jefferson: his ministry to France in the years just before the French Revolution and during the early stages of that conflict; his service as secretary of state in President George Washington's first cabinet; the crucial period of his first differences with Alexander Hamilton and the beginnings of his long struggle with the Federalists.
