A President in the Family: Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings, & Thomas Woodson

Byron W. Woodson, Sr.


More than recounting the life and legacy of Thomas Woodson, Thomas Jefferson's first child by Sally Hemings, this book traces the Woodson family's struggle to correct accounts by Jeffersonian historians and uncover a wealth of documentation in support of an oral history that survived independently in five branches of their family tree.
