In Defense Of Thomas Jefferson

"The case [Hyland] makes is persuasive and in my view well presented, and it's a historically important project."
--Peter Rodman, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution, and author of Presidential Command: Power, Leadership, and the Making of Foreign Policy from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush.

"[Hyland's] approach to the alleged Jefferson-Hemings relationship is ingenious and he has made what I judge to be an irrefutable case."
--Professor Forrest McDonald, History Professor (Emeritus), University of alabama, and National Endowment for the Humanities, 16th Jefferson Lecturer in the Humanities, author of the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson and The America Presidency: An Intellectual History

"Hyland's well written book is a breath of fresh air...In the courtroom where undocumented speculation and hearsay are not allowed, Jefferson will receive a fair trial."
--W. McKenzie Wallenborn, M.D., President, Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society and Clinical Professor (ret.), Univ. of Virginia School of Medicine.

"Mr. Hyland painstakingly separates revisionist ideology from historical accuracy. In page after page Mr. Hyland dissects just how evidence was manipulated to reach a predetermined yet utterly false verdict of guilty."
--John Works, Jr., former president, The Monticello Association.

"Hyland has assembled a mass of forensic evidence to refute the saga much favored by revisionist historians and novelists, who were building on the testimonies of Jefferson's political enemies from his own lifetime."
--Peter Grose, former executive editor at the New York Times and Foriegn Affairs and author of Isreal in the Mind of America

"Powerful insight."
--Herbert Barger, Jefferson family historia

	The belief that Thomas Jefferson had an affair and fathered a child (or children) with slave Sally Hemings-and that such an allegation was proven by DNA testing - has become so pervasive in American popular culture that it is not only widely accepted but taught to students as historical fact. In this startling and revelatory argument. William G. Hyland, Jr. shows not only that the evidence against Jefferson is lacking, but that in fact he is entirely innocent of the charge of having sexual relations with Hemings.
