**NEW** The Hemingses of Monticello

Author : Gordon-Reed, Annette

Description : A comprehensive book that is a sweeping, award-winning history of the Hemings family, written by historian and legal scholar Annette Gordon-Reed. Rather than treating Sally Hemings solely through her connection to Thomas Jefferson, the book reconstructs the lives, kinship networks, labor, choices, and dispersal of several generations of an enslaved Virginia family. It follows the family from its eighteenth-century origins through Jefferson’s death in 1826.
