Date: (1949)

Name: Malone Dumas
Title: "Jefferson and the New Deal."

Publication: Scribner's Magazine
Volume: 93
Date: (1933)

Name: Malone Dumas
Title: Jefferson and His Time: Jefferson the Virginian

Publisher: Little Brown
City: Boston
Date: 1948
Pages: pp. xx, 484
Notes: The first volume of the best biography of TJ; covers until 1784. Malone goes into great detail on TJ's life, but has a tendency to engage in what might seem special pleading in regard to some of TJ's more questionable actions. This tendency is more noticeable in the later volumes (but not the final one), and since Malone scrupulously presents all the facts, a reader is not obliged to accept his judgments blindly.
