Thomas Jefferson:Our Third President

Today I read one of my other books I got from yesterday. Here's some facts I got from the book.
  • The editors of the Declaration of Independence made 86 changes to the rough draft.
  • Jefferson's wife died when she was giving birth to their 6th child,
  • Jefferson sometimes wrote letters for 10 hours a day.
  • The Jefferson Memorial opened in 1943.
  • Sometimes people would stay in the Monticello overnight like a hotel because it was such a nice house.
  • Thomas Jefferson worked on his house for 40 years.
