The 637 documents in this volume span 1 February to 31 August 1819. As a founding member of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors, Jefferson helps to obtain builders for the infant institution, responds to those seeking professorships, and orchestrates the establishment of a classical preparatory school in Charlottesville. In a letter to Vine Utley, Jefferson details his daily regimen of a largely vegetarian diet, bathing his feet in cold water each morning, and horseback riding. Continuing to indulge his wide-ranging intellectual interests, Jefferson receives publications on the proper pronunciation of Greek and discusses the subject himself in a letter to John Adams. Jefferson also experiences worrying and painful events, including hailstorm damage at his Poplar Forest estate, a fire in the North Pavilion at Monticello, the illness of his slave Burwell Colbert, and a fracas in which Jefferson's grandson-in-law Charles Bankhead stabs Jefferson's grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph on court day in Charlottesville. Worst of all, Jefferson's financial problems greatly increase when the bankruptcy of his friend Wilson Cary Nicholas leaves Jefferson responsible for $20,000 in notes he had endorsed for Nicholas.
One of the great unsung Negroes of American history is Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. Why have so few people heard of him? In 1893 Dr. Williams performed the world's first successful heart operation. Why is this not a well-known fact? These are the facts and questions that stimulated Helen Buckler to spend 10 years in 14 States, with hundreds of people and government archives, documents, and records in order to unearth the life story of America's first Negro surgeon and the facts and circumstances of his history-making achievement. The search led from question to question. Where did he acquire the knowledge and skill for this operation only 30 years after emancipation? What happened to him after he achieved this medical breakthrough? What did he do to help the cause of his own race? Why did some Negroes worship him and some hate and fear him? Why was he called "disloyal" and was he really? Since he looked white, why didn't he "go white"? From the answers emerge not only the fascinating portrait of a complex and gifted man, but a revealing picture of Negro life and history from 1856-1931. _Daniel Hale Williams_ is a glowing tribute to a great man which reads the power and drama of fiction.
