In Defense of Thomas Jefferson: The Sally Hemings Sex Scandal Hardcover - 2009

by Hyland, William G

  • Used

The belief that Thomas Jefferson had an affair and fathered a child with slave Sally Hemings has almost become an accepted fact. Hyland, however, shows that not only is the evidence against Jefferson lacking, but he is, in fact, entirely innocent of the charge.
