She lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, for three of those years and spent many hours at both of Thomas Jefferson’s homes. She also used extensive resources at the Library of Congress and other institutions in addition to scholarly books about the Third President. She became acquainted with a number of his descendants. Following publication of the book, she made presentations at educational meetings, such as California Council for the Social Studies and California Association of School Librarians as well as to other groups, Book Clubs and Humanist Forums. Thomas Jefferson: Inquiry History for Daring Delvers has roots in discussions/reactions following her talks. Plus it is the result of more years of study of books, films, and created/recordings about Jefferson created since she began her original research - a number of these are not as complimentary as those she first examined. Her new volume - non-fiction - is intended for a wide audience. It might be used in both high school and college classes. Or it may be interesting for Book Clubs or Senior Home Presentations.view less
