Founding Fathers

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

I thought you all would enjoy reading this edition of Costume Chronicles since I think it's an awesome look at the founding of our country. We also have an exclusive interview with William Hyland Jr. who wrote In Defense of Thomas Jefferson a book that has rocked the foundation of the myth that Jefferson was involved with Sally Hemings. I hope that you all will check it out!!

P.s. I tried to fit as many Jefferson pictures in this issue as I could possibly get away with!

Included articles:

My Dear Friend: the letters between Mr. and Mrs. Adams
Defending Jefferson's Legacy, an interview with William Hyland
Daughters of Liberty: how women influenced the outcome of the war
Not Just a Pretty Face: the heroines of The Patriot
Founding Fathers: the friendship that formed a nation
Presumption & Passion: The Last of the Mohicans
The Founding Fathers' Facebook Page
Captured Legacies: artwork from the baroque and early colonial periods

Thanks for posting this. :) I am making my way through the John Adams mini-series on DVD right now and am massively fangirling Jefferson in it also.

I am making my way through the John Adams mini-series on DVD right now and am massively fangirling Jefferson in it also.

My BFF and I are watching it together and this week we're on episode 4 which our favorite mostly because of Jefferson. (And Abigail Adams...and of course John. LOL)
