Jefferson's White House : Monticello on the Potomac

As the first president to occupy the White House for an entire term, Thomas Jefferson shaped the president's residence, literally and figuratively, more than any of its other occupants. Remarkably enough, however, though many books have immortalized Jefferson's Monticello, none has been devoted to the vibrant look, feel, and energy of his still more famous and consequential home from 1801 to 1809. In "Monticello on the Potomac", James B. Conroy, author of the award-winning "Lincoln's White House "offers a vivid, highly readable account of how life was lived in Jefferson's White House and the young nation's rustic capital.
