Book Description
Excerpt from Gerald's Ordeal, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel The breakfast-room at the Oaks was one of the pleasantest in the house. Its windows overlooked the garden, and when Clara Smith, who was generally the first "to put in an appearance," entered it on a certain bright sunny spring morning, she proceeded to throw them both wide open, uttering a little indignant protest to herself at sight of the blazing fire, which by Mrs. Smith's orders had been lighted as usual, and which certainly made the apartment feel oppressively warm. She stood for several minutes enjoying the fresh air which blew about the ribbons banging from her neck, and would have made wild work with her hair, had it not been too carefully fastened to allow anything of the sort. "Well, Clara, have you made the tea?" asked a voice behind her, and turning hastily, she exclaimed, "Good morning, dear papa! I will make it directly."

Here, for some time, he remained wandering up and down the' shaded alleys, or reclining on one of the seats, until a sudden longing for an ice took possession of him, and he summoned sufficient energy to return to his hotel for the purpose of getting one.

Long journey with Mr. Jefferson
Author: William G. Hyland, Jr.
Publisher: Potomac Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1612341977
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The magisterial collaboration over half a lifetime between historian Dumas Malone and his subject, Thomas Jefferson, is the basis for William G. Hyland Jr.'s compelling Long Journey with Mr. Jefferson. Malone, the courtly and genteel historian from Mississippi, spent thirty-eight years researching and writing the definitive biography of the man who invented the United States of America. Hyland provides a surprising portrait of the man many consider America's greatest historian, recording in detail Malone's struggle to finish his towering six-volume work on Jefferson through excruciating pain and then blindness at the age of eighty-three. Hyland includes Malone's previously unpublished correspondence with such notables as John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, George H. W. Bush, Felix Frankfurter, and Fawn Brodie. Readers are treated to an exclusive look at private family documents and Malone's unfinished memoir, which reflects on history, social commentary, and his life's accomplishments. Offering much more than most biographies, this book imparts extensive insight into Malone's earlier years in Mississippi and Georgia, and how they shaped his character. Through interviews with Malone's intimates, family members, rivals, and subordinates, Hyland generates a true portrait of the man behind the intellect and the myth.
