Publisher's Synopsis
More fully titled History of the United States of America During the Second Administration of Thomas Jefferson, this book covers an early period of Thomas Jefferson's administration, from 1805 to late 1807. The book begins with Jefferson in office and concludes with the third president of the United States still living in the White House. This is the early history of the United States, and the majority of this text is devoted to domestic issues. This is not a history of the United States as defined by interactions with other world powers. Rather, it is a tale of a new republic, political parties, and the domestic issues that faced politicians and citizens in the early 1800's.
Well-researched and presented with an authoritative voice, Adams has succeeded in painting a detailed portrait of the times. Relying heavily on personal diaries and correspondence between politicians, the reader is allowed a look at the inner workings of politics. This book reads faster than its nearly 500 page length would suggest, and many of the anecdotes contained within are genuinely fascinating.
