About This Item
From back cover: "One April 27, 1806, during his second term as president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson confided to his friend Elizabeth Trist, 'I am preparing an occasional retreat in Bedford.' The property was a tract of land more than 4,000 acres that he had owned for over thirty years but had visited just four times - a plantation, worked by about thirty of his slaves, known as Poplar Forest."
The book has beautiful color photos and lots of illustrations. Both the front and back covers are "fold outs".
Book - Good condition. I'm guessing someone set a wet glass on the front as it has some "bubbling" and a partial ring where some of the image is missing. Also the spine edge and the "fold out" edges have some wear. Inside, the text is clean and the binding is tight.
Please use the photos as part of the description.
