One hundred years in the life of a founding father's 5,000 acre
""retreat"". Thomas Jefferson once called his plantation Poplar
Forest, ""the most valuable of my possessions."" For Jefferson,
Poplar Forest was a private retreat for him to escape the hoards of
visitors and everyday pressures of his iconic estate, Monticello.
Jefferson's Poplar Forest uses the knowledge gained from long-term
and interdisciplinary research to explore the experiences of a wide
range of people who lived and worked there between the American
Revolution and the Civil War. Multiple archaeological digs reveal
details about the lives of Jefferson, subsequent owners and their
families, and the slaves (and descendants) who labored and toiled
at the site. From the plantation house to the weeds in the garden,
Barbara Heath, Jack Gary, and numerous contributors examine the
landscapes of the property, investigating the relationships between
the people, objects, and places of Poplar Forest. As the first
book-length study of the archaeology of a president's estate,
Jefferson's Poplar Forest offers a compelling and uniquely specific
look into the lives of those who called Poplar Forest home.
