Indeed , Jefferson saw himself as a "patriarch," not just to his country and mountain-like home at Monticello but also to his family, the white half that he loved so publicly, as well as to the black side that he claimed to love, a contradiction of extraordinary historical magnitude. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cLiveright|d2016 |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 600 10 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826|xPhiliosophy. 600 10 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826|xPolitical and social views. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 700 1 Onuf, Peter S.,|eauthor. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/871C9764-5C37-4687-9DA7- 983ED0A7451D 856 42 |zClick here to access excerpt|uhttp:// samples.overdrive.com/?crid=871c9764-5c37-4687-9da7- 983ed0a7451d&.epub-sample.overdrive.com
