Description
Clyde Wilson has spent a long historian's career looking for the real Jefferson. He has collected his writings over a half century on this subject. He writes: "I like to think I have gotten closer to the real Jefferson than most of those who have written about him and that my view of this great subject has some unique value."
Among important points Wilson argues are: in interpretation a distinction must be made between Jefferson the cosmopolitan intellectual and Jefferson the American public man; historians have deceitfully downplayed Jefferson's fundamental devotion to state sovereignty.
