Martha Jefferson: An Intimate Life with Thomas Jefferson

Martha Jefferson is the first and only biography of Thomas Jeffersonâ€™s greatest love and true kindred spirit, who died an untimely death at the young age of thirty-three in 1782. Drawing on a wealth of newly probed sourcesâ€”including family letters, documents, and the handwritten notes left by Jeffersonâ€™s famed biographer, Dumas Maloneâ€”William G. Hyland Jr. captures the charm, sophistication, and grace, as well as a profound sense of history, of this little known and elusive figure who, until now, has been a mere footnote to the story of Americaâ€™s founding.

Hyland brings us a conflicted and honest Martha Jefferson, who endured the Revolution as valiantly as some menâ€”defending her very doorstep from raiding British troopsâ€”and presided over the domestic life of the Jeffersonsâ€™ â€œlittle mountain,â€ Monticello, during her husbandâ€™s long absences and historic rise to power. A revealing and insightful look at an often overlooked American woman, this book provides a unique and previously unexplored understanding of Americaâ€™s Revolutionary Era, and the men and women upon whose bravery, talent, and resolve our nation was founded.
