"He lived during a time of great conflict and war--but he is most famous for fighting battles with a pen rather than a sword. In Thomas Jefferson, kids will examine the life of the statesman who wrote one of the world's greatest documents--the Declaration of Independence--and, in turn, helped form the very country we live in today. From his days in colonial Virginia to his role as President of the United States, kids will discover Jefferson's many contributions to American society, including the development of the Library of Congress, the capital of our nation, Washington D.C., and the great western expanse of North America that he felt compelled to have explored"--Container.
