In this American history podcast episode, we take a close look at Thomas Jefferson. This multi-talented Founder was part businessman, philosopher, writer, naturalist, theologian, statesman, architect, and inventor. To help us understand Jefferson and why he still matters, I talk to historian Annette Gordon-Reed, co-author of "Most Blessed of the Patriarchs": Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination. It’s a deep and compelling examination of this most important and most enigmatic of Founders.
