I read this many years ago and remember finding it engaging. If I ever have time I would like to look at it again now that the Sally Hemmings story have been bolstered with dna testing.
Used for research and was a wonderful resource.
Poor use of evidence to justify claims as anything more than speculation. Otherwise adds little to nothing to the effort of Jefferson.
