In the early spring of 1787, Thomas Jefferson embarked on a three-month journey to the South of France visiting Arles, Air-en-Provence, the Canal du Midi, and many other places. He kept extensive notes and wrote, as was usual for him, many letters every day.Jefferson's journey is now recreated in this stunning new book by Roy and Alma Moore, who have taken the same trip more than a dozen times. Each time they photographed (without cars, people, or signs) the same images Jefferson viewed some 200 years ago. Complementing the full-color photographs are period engravings, portraits, maps, paintings, excerpts from Jefferson's notes, and dozens of letters he wrote along the route to his daughters, his friends in American and Paris, his protege, William Short, and many others.Combining a rich historical heritage with an armchair traveler's appreciation for one of the most beautiful places on earth, Thomas Jefferson's Journey to the South of France is an enlightening look at the past and a trueinspiration for anyone traveling to France today.
