Summary:
"Great friendships are not always easy. In fact, the friendship between Founding Fathers John Adams and Thomas Jefferson was downright rocky, so much so that they're sometimes called the "Founding Frenemies"! In this unique book, readers will learn more about the relationship-friendly and otherwise-between two of the United States' most well-known founders, from their first meeting as delegates to the Continental Congress in 1775 to their deaths on the same day in 1826. Primary sources offer insight into Adams and Jefferson's often-adversarial friendship, and historical photographs provide a window into the era"-- Provided by publisher.
