Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor of law at New York Law School, doesn't take a position for or against the proposition that Thomas Jefferson may have had a liaison of nearly 40 years with a slave named Sally Hemings, and that Hemings may have borne him several children. Instead, in this scrupulously researched book, Gordon-Reed examines the evidence both for and against Jefferson's liaison with Hemings. Among the strongest evidence in this provocative book is the fact that though Jefferson's time in Virginia was limited when he was in public life, Hemings's six children - born over 15 years - were delivered with months after each of Jefferson's stays at Monticello.RUNNING TIME ? 12hrs. and 57mins.?1997 the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia (P)2020 Tantor
