Young Thomas Jefferson
The Curious Creator & Legislative Leader
Quick Intro
I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
As revered John F. Kennedy so eloquently puts it in the quote above, Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd POTUS, compiled an astounding vast range of knowledge & accomplishments throughout his life. His biographies often narrowed to his historical role as a Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson is unfortunately overlooked as a candidate for “polymath.” However, since we’re refraining from a strict definition here, it’s certainly incontrovertible that Thomas Jefferson was an expert in many fields.
Our eleventh-entry in our Young Masters series, the ideas of Thomas Jefferson are inked into the very soul of this country. A man at the right place at the right time who courageously walked the path in front of him & led in a time of turbulence, Jefferson is equally-deserving of placement in this group. Maintaining the same focus as previous submissions, we ask again — what was he like in his twenties?
