ISBN:  9780385383424 0385383428 Edition:  1st. ed. Description:  1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 29 cm. Summary:  Winter and Widener tell the story of James Madison Hemings's childhood at Monticello, and, in doing so, illuminate the many contradictions in Jefferson's life and legacy. Though Jefferson lived in a mansion, Hemings and his siblings lived in a single room. While Jefferson doted on his white grandchildren, he never showed affection to his enslaved children. Though he kept the Hemings boys from hard field labor instead sending them to work in the carpentry shop Jefferson nevertheless listed the children in his Farm Book along with the sheep, hogs, and other property. Here is a profound and moving account of one family's history, which is also America's history. Genre:  Biography, Juvenile. Other authors:  Widener, Terry.
