"In Jefferson's Shadow is a unique document of the relationship between a little-known but highly skilled country builder and the American statesman widely considered this nation's finest gentleman architect. It is also an indispensable resource on the little-understood practice of architecture in the early and mid-nineteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
