Thomas Jefferson-From Boy to Man is based on historical fact, which spans over 7 decades. The informative documentary and numerous rare photos present the reader with a glimpse into the life of Thomas, the boy. As we read the private journal entries written in his Commonplace Book, it is evident how Thomas's life experiences influenced and shaped the personality and character of Mr. Jefferson, the man, one of Virginia's most beloved sons.

A biographical, autobiographical, and historically accurate account of the first 31 years of Thomas Jefferson's illustrious life. Historical, Colonial Period 1600-1774.



Excerpt

It is the 17th year anniversary of Peter Jefferson's death. After spending the morning visiting his mother at Shadwell and checking on the plantation's business interests, 31 year old Thomas Jefferson rides his horse, Cucullin, alongside the extensive tobacco field on his way to Monticello. The tobacco is nearing harvest, and Thomas is pleased to see that the entire crop and production process had fared well over the hot summer months.
As Thomas rides across the rolling countryside, he approaches his favorite childhood refuge...his rock. As a young boy, he used to run off to this hiding spot when he wanted to avoid chores or escape from his younger sisters. It was a place of reflection, study, and play,where his imagination could run wild...
