This new recording by Jim Weiss illustrates that Thomas Jefferson lived a dozen lifetimes in one. Patriot, scientist, architect, president, author of the Declaration of Independence, he preferred above all titles "father" and "grandfather". Yet time and again, demand for his unique skills drew him from the quiet Virginia home he loved. In this rcoding, you will experience the many facets of this remarkable man's life. You will meet Washinton, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Monroe, Hamilton and Lafayette. You'll thrill against empires and struggles against slavery. With clarity and passion, Jim Weiss brings to life the creation of the United States of America, and paints a masterly portrait of the founder whose life has come to personify the blessings and challenges of being an American.
