BARTON, DAVID

The Jefferson Lies Exposing the Myths You've Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson

Washington, DC: WND Books, 2016. Revised Edition; Fourth Printing. Softcover. ISBN: 1944229027. Card covers show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book.; Trade PB; 28 X 139 X 208 millimeters; 363 pages; A scholarly book, the author provides plentiful notes which give the sources for his thinking. "This new paperback edition of The Jefferson Lies re-documents Barton's research and conclusions as sound and his premises true. It tackles seven myths about Thomas Jefferson head-on, and answers pressing questions about this incredible statesman including: Did Thomas Jefferson really have a child by his young slave girl, Sally Hemings?, Did he write his own Bible, excluding the parts of Christianity with which he disagreed? Was he a racist who opposed civil rights and equality for black Americans? Did he, in his pursuit of separation of church and state, advocate the secularizing of public life? Through Jefferson's own words and the eyewitness testimony of contemporaries, Barton repaints a portrait of the man from Monticello as a visionary, an innovator, a man who revered Jesus, a classical Renaissance man, and a man whose pioneering stand for liberty and God-given inalienable rights fostered a better world for this nation and its posterity. For America, the time to remember these truths is now.". Very Good+ .

A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Eminent Lives Series; 5 X 0.83 X 7.12 inches; 188 pages; "a startlingly new and provocative interpretation of our Founding Father—a man conflicted by power who wrote the Declaration of Independence and acted as ambassador to France yet yearned for a quieter career in the Virginia legislature. A masterly writer, Jefferson was an awkward public speaker. A professed proponent of emancipation, he elided the issue of slavery from the Declaration of Independence and continued to own human property. A reluctant candidate, he left an indelible presidential legacy.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
