This book carefully examines the facts and finds that; contrary to the way the matter has been portrayed in the news media; there is no substantial evidence at all to support the charge that Thomas Jefferson had a relationship with Sally Hemings. In fact; the best evidence indicates it never happened. The book details how evidence that would exonerate Jefferson was ignored; how the news media were manipulated; how dissent was suppressed; how one early document was altered to reverse its meaning; and how the scientific evidence was given a misleading headline in order to make it appear that Jefferson was guilty. Dr. James McClellan of London University described it as "An incredible new book that really destroys the case that Jefferson had a relationship with Sally Hemings."

I am a American Civil War Living History Reenactor and this book is priceless to any one with that hobby. One part of the book tells of where the men camped and the house on that land is owned by a friend of mine. The information is very accurate and injects just enough dialogue amongst the men to make it interesting.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. GreatBy C. WoodFor what it is; it is very detailed on the members of the 18th Cav. It is a unit book; and tells you the basic details on the 18th Virginia Cavalry.
