Synopsis
Sally Hemings, a young child and a slave, became part of an inheritance of Martha Wayles Jefferson, wife of Thomas. Sally served Jefferson’s household at Monticello for almost 52 years. During that time, and after, rumors persisted that Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson were romantically involved. Sally may have borne his children. Oral history, historic letters, Jefferson’s records, and 2th-century DNA tests may have proved them right.

Reviews
Grade 2-5-While the term legend as it applies to the series title is addressed, these books read like biography. However, the author does not always make clear what is fact and what is not. There is some fictionalizing. For example, in Molly Pitcher, the author writes, "Molly, however, wished that she, too, could be taught to read and write." Interestingly, in Sally Hemings, the association between President Jefferson and Sally is called a "special relationship." In Molly Brown, the text reads, "Molly had dreamed of marrying a rich man but instead fell in love with the 32-year-old J. J. Brown." Photographs show actual people and places but some of the paintings do not relate to the accompanying text. All are superimposed on an annoying blue background with fuzzy shadows of objects in each person's life. These women are colorful, interesting characters in American history and deserve more appropriate renderings of their stories.
