About the Author:
Ralph Henry Gabriel was Larned Professor of American History at Yale University, general editor of the fifteen-volume series "The Pageant of America, " and the author of books on regional history and the history of thought in America. The Vaill letters, upon which this book is based, came into Gabriel's hands quite by accident.
At the time of his death late in 1986, Dumas Malone was acknowledged as the greatest scholar ever to study and write a biography of Thomas Jefferson. Born in Mississippi, educated at Emory and Yale, and a Marine Corps veteran of World War I, Malone was editor-in-chief of the scholarly"Dictionary of American Biography" and wrote a 15,000-word life of Jefferson as part of his editorial duties. From that first scholarly interest, Malone went on to write (between 1948 and 1981) a six-volume work, "Jefferson and His Time", that will long stand as the definitive biography of our third president.
