"Is the field of Jefferson studies played out? Could be, but just below that depleted topsoil, archeologist Susan Kern has hit pay dirt. From the pipes and pottery fashioned by the sixty-odd slaves who labored at Jefferson's birthplace to the metal ornaments left behind by his father's Cherokee visitors, Kern's artifacts paint a portrait of colonial Virginia that is more intimate, complex, and exciting than could ever have been drawn solely from the testimony of the literate."-Woody Holton, author of Abigail Adams, "This well-researched, well-written, and wide-ranging book is microhistory at its best. . . . Kern's clean prose offers valuable insight and vital contextual detail to our understanding of the Jefferson family."-Jeremy Dibbell, PhiloBiblos, "This elegant, vivid book shows us what a gifted historian and archaeologist can do with the state-of-the-art tools of her trades. Susan Kern has revealed a Shadwell we thought we'd never know."-Virginia Scharff, author of The Women Jefferson Loved, "Before Monticello, there was Shadwell. In this ground-breaking and original work, Susan Kern has immeasurably added to our understanding of Thomas Jefferson. By closely analyzing his family''s plantation home and daily life, Kern marvelously re-creates the lost world that gave us one of the most important Americans who ever lived. Kern''s research is impeccable, her writing fluid, and no one will ever again be able to consider Jefferson without taking this terrific book into account. A great achievement."--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston, "Kern has intimate knowledge not only of the archaeology of Shadwell but also of the family history of the Jeffersons. This book provides us with an in-depth look at the material culture, social milieu, and domestic lives of the free whites and enslaved blacks who lived at Thomas Jefferson's childhood home."Timothy J. Shannon, Gettysburg College, �Kern�s recreation of the daily routines at Shadwell is both painstaking and path-breaking. All future students of Jefferson will turn to this as the standard account of his childhood world.��Lauren Winner, Duke University, "A quiet revolution in our understanding both of Thomas Jefferson's childhood and of late colonial Virginia! The material culture of Shadwell is delicately reconstructed from archeology and the documentation of Peter Jefferson's deceased estate. A must-read for all interested not just in the Founder but also in the history of family and household in America."-Rhys Isaac, author of The Transformation of Virginia, 1740-1790, "This elegant, vivid book shows us what a gifted historian and archaeologist can do with the state-of-the-art tools of her trades. Susan Kern has revealed a Shadwell we thought we''d never know."Virginia Scharff, author of The Women Jefferson Loved, "Well-researched and engagingly written . . . a work of impressive yet accessible scholarship."-Matthew R. Laird, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, "This elegant, vivid book shows us what a gifted historian and archaeologist can do with the state-of-the-art tools of her trades.

All future students of Jefferson will turn to this as the standard account of his childhood world."-Lauren Winner, Duke University, "Archaeologist Kern has done a welcome service here to the disciplines of archaeology and American history in her study. . . . This book should be welcomed not only by historical archaeologists of America''s Colonial period, but other archaeologists, as well, who will be well served by Kern''s approach to creating a vivid account of life at Jefferson''s boyhood home. The ease with which the text is written also provides nonspecialists with rich access to this part of history."-John E.

Kern''s clean prose offers valuable insight and vital contextual detail to our understanding of the Jefferson family."--Jeremy Dibbell, PhiloBiblos, "Kern''s book both supports and extends what is known about slavery and the daily lives of Africn-Americans in mid-eighteenth century Virginia. . . . In highlighting the important roles that slaves and women played in Jefferson''s upbringing but not his slef-fashioningm, the author''s conclusions and her use of evidence are likely to attract both praise and criticism for years to come."-Ronald L.

Synopsis
Merging archaeology, material culture, and social history, historian Susan Kern reveals the fascinating story of Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson and home to his parents, Jane and Peter Jefferson, their eight children, and over sixty slaves. Located in present-day Albemarle County, Virginia, Shadwell was at the time considered "the frontier." However, Kerndemonstrates thatShadwell was no crude log cabin; it was, in fact, a well-appointed gentry house full of fashionable goods, located at the center of a substantial plantation. Kern s scholarship offers new views of the family s role in settling Virginia as well as new perspectives on Thomas Jefferson himself. By examining a variety ofsources, including account books, diaries, and letters, Kern re-creates in rich detail the dailylives of the Jeffersons at Shadwell from Jane Jefferson s cultivation of a learned and cultured household to Peter Jefferson s extensive business network and oversight of a thriving plantation. Shadwell was Thomas Jefferson s patrimony, but Kern asserts that his real legacy there came from his parents, who cultivated the strong social connections that would later open doors for their children. At Shadwell, Jefferson learned the importance of fostering relationships with slaves, laborers, and powerful office holders, as well as the hierarchical structure of large plantations, which he later applied at Monticello. The story of Shadwell affects how we interpret much of what we know about Thomas Jefferson today, and Kern s fascinating book is sure to become the standard work on Jefferson's early years.", Merging archaeology, material culture, and social history, historian Susan Kern reveals the fascinating story of Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson and home to his parents, Jane and Peter Jefferson, their eight children, and over sixty slaves.
