Description
Peppered with interesting facts, this delightfully illustrated telling of Thomas Jefferson's love of books and its impact on our country will intrigue your youngest and oldest readers. Young Tom read every book in his father's library before he started school. Those 49 books were considered a luxurious library in that day but pales in comparison to the 9000 or so volumes Jefferson owned in his lifetime. While president, Tom doubled the size of the country (the Louisiana Purchase) and more than tripled the number of books in its library. When the original Library of Congress burned during an attack (War of 1812), former President Jefferson sold almost 7000 volumes from his personal library to the government. The Library's current 155 million items on 800 miles of shelves in 470 languages would no doubt greatly please him. His granddaughter stated it well: "Books were at all times his chosen companions." 9"x 9", 32 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
