Thomas Jefferson's Travels in Europe, 1784-1789 [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

Shackelford's contribution to the study of Jefferson's intellect is as attractive as it is substantive in contributing to our understanding of Jefferson's intellect and the forces that shaped it." -- Georgia Historical Quarterly
