Extent: xii, 339.

Notes: Discusses Jefferson's long-standing interest in the West, particularly the trans-Mississippi West, the recorded knowledge available to him, his support of exploring parties, and his plans for settlement and development. Chapters on Lewis and Clark, Zebulon Pike, and the Red River explorations of William Dunbar and Thomas Freeman. Examines dealings with the Sac and Fox Indians as a case study representative of TJ's Indian policy as a whole and his determination that the Louisiana Purchase would be used for resettlement of tribes east of the Mississippi. Contends that for all presidents from TJ through Jackson the results of Indian policy were the same although details and degree of compassion differed; the government caved in first to pressure from settlers and land speculators, then the Indians. Concludes that in western matters as in many others TJ was not so much an innovator as a reactor, "at his finest when responding brilliantly to unexpected events, Mackenzie's startling voyage across Canada, or Napoleon's thunderbolt offer to sell Louisiana."

Notes that although TJ never went west of Staunton, Virginia, until late in his life, he had the curiosity and knowledge to be a good explorer himself, although his migraine headaches and his psychological inability to detach himself from his family would have worked against him.

Notes: Describes TJ and Thoreau as proponents of Agrarian and Romantic views of the environment; TJ envisioned a rural society of egalitarian virtuous citizens, whereas Thoreau looked for rural solitude in which individuals could come to terms with their personal relationship to the environment. If the country was actually settled according to the Jeffersonian scheme of an extensive grid, itself the symbol "of an agrarian Utopia composed of a democratic society of small landowners," Thoreau's romantic vision ironically remained an urban and suburban phenomenon which tended to see the wider landscape only in terms of conservation or recreation. The Romantic landscape was equally a Utopian ideal, and if the Agrarian and Romantic Utopias died, it was "because there were no longer Utopian men to inhabit them." Suggestive. Previously printed in Landscape 15 (Winter, 1965-66).

Although TJ "continually altered his policies to overtake reality," he held to three constant beliefs: the old confederacy east of the Mississippi should remain intact; the West should be developed by Americans, "forming whatever free and independent principalities they wished," and eventually the whole North and South American continents would be peopled by free and independent allies.

Suggests that the so-called "Jacksonian Persuasion" was actually the "Jeffersonian Persuasion," but the tradition associating virtuous republics with agrarian life is as old as Plato's Republic. TJ, however, sought to dissolve if not transcend the tension between liberty and virtue by basing the modern state on the doctrine of equal natural rights for all.

Claims that traditional accounts have emphasized the broad agreement these men had on foreign policy while not sufficiently recognizing their differences over "how to deal with specific issues facing the nation." Discusses differences over views on the possible future direction of American commerce, how to deal with the Barbary Pirates, and the importance of navigational rights on the Mississippi. Opinions expressed by these seven in the 1780's help to explain their future actions and the later evolution of two political parties.

Extent: 349-368.

Notes: Credits TJ with demonstrating the potential of the presidency as an institution of popular government, although agreeing with the contention that republican policy impaired the nation's ability to determine its own destiny. If TJ accomplished the republican aim of eliminating the national debt and excessive taxes, he also diminished the funds necessary for the naval and military establishment increasingly necessary to protect American interests in his second term. TJ developed beyond his predecessors the policy-making role of the president, yet he preserved a popular base of legitimacy. The failure of the embargo, however, undermined the credibility of presidential activism, and encouraged the shift of power toward Congress which occurred in the next two decades. A solid essay on TJ as presidential leader.

Title: Jefferson and the Presidency: Leadership in the Young Republic
Publisher: Cornell Univ. Press

Date: (1978)

Notes: Argues that TJ significantly developed techniques for presidential leadership, particularly in finding extra-constitutional sources of power. He used his immense prestige, patronage, the press, and the social advantages of his office to capitalize upon his position as leader of his party. "The effective use of this rudimentary machinery of party as an instrument of presidential power was one of Jefferson's most important contributions to the presidency." Excellent book.

Notes: TJ is associated with many major “myths” of American History, in so far as “myths” are the “ways in Americans have chosen to regard and understand themselves,” particularly the myths of the Revolution, of an empire for liberty and not conquest, of yeoman farmers as the best citizens, and of permanently opposing political parties.

Notes: Argues that TJ's "derogation of the Negro revealed the latent possibilities inherent in an accumulated popular tradition of Negro inferiority; it constituted, for all its qualifications, the most intense, extensive, and extreme formulation of anti-Negro 'thought' offered by any American in the thirty years after the Revolution. Yet Thomas Jefferson left to Americans something else which may in the long run have been of greater importance: his prejudice for freedom and his larger equalitarian faith." An important book.

Title: Down from the Mountain: The Oral History of the Hemings Family, Are They the Black Descendants of Thomas Jefferson?
Publisher: The Author
Place of Publication: Perrysburg, OH
Date: (1990)
Extent: pp. viii, 179.

Notes: Explores the genealogies of the descendants of Sally Hemings, Thomas Woodson, and Josepth and Edith Fosset. Accepts without serious question that TJ fathered Sally's children, including Thomas Woodson, although recognizes implicitly that there are difficulties difficulties in identifying Woodson as a child of Sally Hemings. Does not take a strong stand on the claim that Joe Fosset was the son of Thomas Jefferson with Mary Hemings, Sally's sister, but generally accepts oral family tradition as truthful. Although the author adds no new proof or disproof to the claims for TJ's parentage of black children, the genealogical features here trace the subsequent history of three families of remarkable and interesting people.
