Summary

Much has been written about Thomas Jefferson, with good reason: His life was a great American drama<U+2013>one of the greatest<U+2013>played out in compelling acts. He was the architect of our democracy, a visionary chief executive who expanded this nation<U+2019>s physical boundaries to unimagined lengths. But Twilight at Monticello is something entirely new: an unprecedented and engrossing personal look at the intimate Jefferson in his final years that will change the way readers think about this true American icon. It was during these years<U+2013>from his return to Monticello in 1809 after two terms as president until his death in 1826<U+2013>that Jefferson<U+2019>s idealism would be most severely, and heartbreakingly, tested
