This analysis of Jefferson's antislavery views and the actions towhich they gave rise, the subject matter of "The Wolf by theEars, " is necessarily episodic; while chronology has been generallyobserved, it was not possible to weld this disparate material into the form of abiographical narrative.
I find this book takes a "presentist" look at Jefferson by applying current day standards to an 18th century man as it pertains to slavery.
t does contain some decent "Jefferson" history but John Chester Miller is no Dumas Malone. He rarely uses citations for his work unless they are direct quotes of notable people
