- Summary:
- Cunningham follows Jefferson from his birth in what is now Albemarle County, Virginia, through his early education, and on to his student days at the College of William and Mary. Beginning his political career in the Virginia House of Burgesses at the age twenty-six in 1769, Jefferson displayed the brilliant mind and skillful pen that a few years later led the Continental Congress Of 1776 to rely on him to draft the Declaration Of Independence.
