Martha Jefferson is the first and only biography of Thomas
Jefferson'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 sources-including family letters,
documents, and the handwritten notes left by Jefferson's famed
biographer, Dumas Malone-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 America's founding. Hyland brings us
a conflicted and honest Martha Jefferson, who endured the
Revolution as valiantly as some men-defending her very doorstep
from raiding British troops-and presided over the domestic life of
the Jeffersons' "little mountain," Monticello, during her husband'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
America's Revolutionary Era, and the men and women upon whose
bravery, talent, and resolve our nation was founded.
