Publication: Thomas Jefferson and the Changing West , Ronda ed.
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
Place of Publication: Albuquerque
Date: (1997)
Extent: 93-108.

Notes: Offers a Jeffersonian theory of democracy and policy and contrasts it with the "bureaucratic, professionalized, and interest-dominated nature of [present-day] policies governing western natural resources." A key is TJ's faith in the people to govern themselves, but also important is his "belief in a sense of place."

Date: (1993)

Notes: Sophisticated and suggestive discussion of the history of TJ's life at Monticello with his wife as constructed in a series of layered stories, complete with contradictions, suppressions, and revelations.

Title: "Jefferson's Salt Mountain: The Big Salt Plain of the Cimarron River."
Publication: Chronicles of Oklahoma
Volume: 58
Date: (1980)
Extent: 160-75.

Notes: TJ was derided by partisan writers for mentioning in his November 1803 message to Congress on the Louisiana Territory the reported existence of a mountain of solid rock salt "said to be one hundred and eighty miles long." This was the product not of fiction but of misunderstanding (and some exaggeration). The original was the Big Salt Plain of the Cimarron, west of present day Freedom, Oklahoma. Zebulon Pike and Meriwether Lewis passed on such stories and claimed to have seen bushels of salt brought from there. In 1811 George C. Sibley was the first U.S. citizen to visit the site. Discusses other visitors and scientists who subsequently studied the phenomenon.

Title: "Discovering Jefferson in the People's Republic of China."
Publication: Virginia Quarterly Review
Volume: 57
Date: (1981)
Extent: 401-19.

Notes: Three short essays on Chinese visitors to the University of Virginia since 1976, on the life and work of Liu Zuochang, "China's sole Jefferson expert," and on a comparison of TJ and Chairman Mao. Hochman's discussion of Liu (see below) faults certain omissions such as TJ's concern for a bill of rights and his being to some extent captive of some Marxist cliches, but he finds the essay impressive overall for its perceptiveness about TJ, its grasp of scholarship, and its fresh point of view. Israel points out the affinities and relevance of TJ for Chinese critics of the regime who must be able to perceive what can not be expressly articulated about him in accounts originating in the communist context.
