First meeting as delegates to the Continental Congress in 1775, they initiated correspondence in 1777, negotiated jointly as ministers in Europe in the 1780s, and served the early Republic&#151;each, ultimately, in its highest office. At Jefferson's defeat of Adams for the presidency in 1800, they became estranged, and the correspondence lapses from 1801 to 1812, then is renewed until the death of both in 1826, fifty years to the day after the Declaration of Independence.<p>Lester J. Cappon's edition, first published in 1959 in two volumes, provides the complete correspondence between these two men and includes the correspondence between Abigail Adams and Jefferson. Many of these letters have been published in no other modern edition, nor does any other edition devote itself exclusively to the exchange between Jefferson and the Adamses. Introduction, headnotes, and footnotes inform the reader without interrupting the speakers. This reissue of <i>The Adams-Jefferson Letters in a one-volume unabridged edition brings to a broader audience one of the monuments of American scholarship and, to quote C. Vann Woodward, 'a major treasure of national literature.' 425498 30 9 1988 The Adams-Jefferson Letters: The Complete Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and Abigail and John Adams total:79|5:36|4:36|3:7|2:0|1:0| 79 345 192 8 4 1 false false Fri Mar 28 08:06:13 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 09:07:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 10:34:07 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 17:17:57 -0700 2009
