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!) -- help bot |

(Oops -- that was two questions!) -- help bot 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: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...avesofthomasje http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...avesofthomasje Sam Sloan |

(I always wondered about Jimmy, but never even suspected Clark himself might be overly mild-mannered.)

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.

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