Thomas Jefferson's influence is evident throughout the nation he helped found - from the democratic ideals he set down in the Declaration of Independence to the expansion of America's borders through the Louisiana Purchase. But the more tangible examples of his creative genius lie in his architecture - from the halls of the University of Virginia to his home on his "little mountain," Monticello. Here, in this essay by award-winning historian Marshall B. Davidson, is the story of Jefferson the architect.
