Alan Pell Crawford is the author, most recently, of Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson, a Book of the Month Club selection, History Book Club selection and Washington Post Best Seller.
“Alan Pell Crawford’s beautifully written, evocative portrait of the
Sage of Monticello in his retirement years is a welcome addition to the
Jefferson bookshelf,” according to Peter Onuf, Jefferson Professor of
History at the University of Virginia. “Juxtaposing affecting scenes of
Jefferson’s domestic life with fresh and illuminating perspectives on
his subject’s late-life political, philosophical, and spiritual
preoccupations, Crawford’s fine book should engage and reward a wide
audience.”
