Thomas Jeffersons many InterestsBy Wanda ZakExtremely interesting study of Thomas Jeffersons wide ranging personal interests especially in developing various species of vegetables fruits ; along with his many attempts at viticulture. The only drawback was the non chronological jumping back and forth resulting in numerous amounts of repetition.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Some interesting history...By Theresa VaughanTo call this food literature would be a bit of a stretch. It wasn't what I expected--and in fact it read like the author tried to stretch just a few facts about food into a whole book. Nevertheless; I found the book well written; and there was enough history in it to keep it interesting. I like early U.S. history so I wasn't disappointed. If you are looking for a book packed with information about food in the post-Revolutionary era; particular as it existed in the United States; you'll probably be disappointed. However; if you are interested in Thomas Jefferson and to a lesser extent; John Adams; you will find this an interesting take.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
