The Story of Monticello is a historical book written by Thomas L. Rhodes that provides a comprehensive account of the life and legacy of Thomas Jefferson's famous estate in Virginia. The book begins with an overview of Jefferson's life and his vision for Monticello, exploring the architectural design of the house and the surrounding gardens. The author then delves into the history of the estate, tracing its evolution from a small plantation to a grand estate with over 5,000 acres of land. Along the way, Rhodes examines the role of slavery in the development of Monticello and the impact it had on the lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked there. The book also explores the many visitors who came to Monticello, including famous figures like Lafayette and John Adams, and the legacy of the estate in American history. Overall, The Story of Monticello is a fascinating and insightful look at one of America's most iconic landmarks, offering a detailed and engaging account of its history and significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
