From Library Journal
This is no ordinary coffee-table book. It combines all the luscious photographs one would expect along with features that will please serious readers and scholarly specialists. Sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, photographer/ author team Roy and Alma Moore retraced the three-month journey through southern France that Jefferson made in the spring of 1787. Jefferson was an inveterate note taker and letter writer. He left hundreds of descriptions of the fields, rivers, buildings, and sights of Marseilles, Arles, and other spots in the region. The Moores have taken great pains to describe things as they must have appeared to Jefferson, that is, without today's automobiles, television antennas, and so on. Next to each photo, map, or engraving, the Moores present the relevant passage from Jefferson's letters or notes. Lucia C. Stanton, the Shannon Senior Research Historian at Monticello's International Center, has contributed an authoritative and interesting introduction. Highly recommended for university and public libraries.AThomas J. Schaeper, St. Bonaventure Univ., NY
