Excellent easy to read with surprising insights into slavery August 4, 1999
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is a short overview of some of the discoveries made by the author and her team of archaeologists at Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson's retreat home. It is well written with outstanding photographs and maps. The author writes clearly without imposing her own opinion on the reader as to the results of some of the surprising discoveries made at the site. The author encourages the reader to continue his/her own provoking thought by acknowledging that the site is still very much a work in progress and causes the reader to look forward to further discoveries. This author is to be commended for her straightforward writing that allows even the layperson to come away with a great deal of acquired knowledge.
