Um, does this "new" version update the old one, with all
the latest doings of TJ, his most recent misadventures,
and does it give details about his latest progeny? Inquiring
minds want to know.

Also, do have have any books about Lois and Clark, about
their "explorations" of new territories?

One more question: do many people buy these works of
yours? And why? (Oops -- that was two questions!)

No. My previous book, "The Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson" was a
complete analysis of all the known facts about the relationship of
Thomas Jefferson with Sally Hemings and his possibly other Slave
Mistresses, and their children.

Louis and Clark are mentioned in my book but it is just a minor
mention.

My new book, "The Farm Book by Thomas Jefferson with light notes and
annotations by Sam Sloan", is different. It is a reproduction of the
complete original 178 page "Farm Book" handwritten by Thomas Jefferson.
At the bottom of each page there is a brief summary by me of what is
contained on that page. In addition, at the beginning, there is my
analysis of the entries in the Farm Book which I find to be most
interesting.

The original Farm Book is in the possession of the Massachusetts
Historical Society. It contains a massive amount of information. No
complete analysis of what the Farm Book contains has ever been
published. My new book just scratches the surface.

Both books are available on Amazon at:

OH MY GAWD. You're saying that... that Superman was...
bi!?!? Who is "Louis", and what happened to the girl, to Lois
Lane? (I always wondered about Jimmy, but never even
suspected Clark himself might be overly mild-mannered.)

Interesting. I've read about TJ many times, but have not
heard of this "Farm Book" before.

You are obviously being a wise guy, because everybody who has spent any
time studying the life of Thomas Jefferson has heard of the Farm Book.
Nevertheless, your question gives me the opportunity to answer it (and
to plug my new book).

The Farm Book has been published previously. Of course, there is no
copyright on it, since it was written between 1774 and 1824. There was
an edition edited by Edwin Morris Betts. That edition contained 552
pages of notes and quotes from the letters of Thomas Jefferson.
However, almost all of those notes and letters dealt with the actual
workings of the farms, including crops and livestock. Such matters are
of not much interest to modern historians. What we want to know about
is the slaves.

For example, the most famous slave of Thomas Jefferson by far was Sally
Hemings. However, the index and the 552 pages of notes by Betts contain
no mention, none what ever, of Sally Hemings. Similarly, none of the
public letters and writings of Thomas Jefferson mention Sally. However,
Sally is mentioned dozens of times in the Farm Book, which Thomas
Jefferson clearly never intended to be published.

The real question to which everybody wants an answer it whether Thomas
Jefferson was the father of Sally's five children. I realize that this
question has already been answered definitively by that well known and
distinguished historian, Oprah Winfrey, but there are still those out
there who have lingering doubts.

The Farm Book provides lots of clues as to who the real father might
be. For example, for every slave born at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson
listed both the father and the mother in the Farm Book, with the sole
exception of the children of Sally Hemings. Why it is that only her
children do not have the name of the father listed? Inquiring minds
want to know.

Most of what I have read about him centered not around
his personal life or his farm, but had to do with government.

In addition to owning slaves, I've read that he was a
passable writer.

Hemings. However, the index and the 552 pages of notes by Betts contain
no mention, none what ever, of Sally Hemings. Similarly, none of the

This explains why you are publishing it, I suppose.

The real question to which everybody wants an answer it whether Thomas
Jefferson was the father of Sally's five children. I realize that this

children do not have the name of the father listed? Inquiring minds
want to know.


One theory might be that TJ himself was the father. But
another possible explanation could be that he didn't know
for sure who the father was, and rather than guess, he left
the spaces blank. Another possible explanation might be
that he knew who the father was, but did not wish to expose
him; for instance, suppose George Washington was the
father of more than just his country... . ;D
