Review - Notes on the State of Virginia

A very interesting description of many aspects of Virginia during the Revolution. Although I enjoyed the book, I don't care at all for Jefferson. And it may shock you what the writer of the Declaration of Independence, the man who claimed that all men are equal, has to say about Blacks and Indians.
