This clear and concise biography of the third president of the United States focuses on the people and events that shaped his political career. His major accomplishments, beginning with the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, through his presidency and the Louisiana Purchase, and up to the founding of the University of Virginia are presented. What sets this "Presidents" series apart from others is that Enslow Publishers has developed a safe and reliable web site, "MyReportLinks.com," where the student can go for further information. As a reminder, many of the pictures in the book are shown on the web pages as well. An annotated listing of the Internet sites is presented at the front of the book. The timeline is also at the beginning, making it easy for students to refer to important dates. Chapter notes, a bibliography of mostly adult titles, and an index conclude the book.
