This volume was published in 1862.Excerpt from the book's Preface:This volume has been prepared from entirely new ma- terials, derived from sources hitherto unexplored. It was the author's rare good fortune, some months since, to make the acquaintance of Capt. Edmund Bacon, a now aged and wealthy citizen of Kentucky, who was for twenty years the chief overseer and business manager of Mr. Jefferson's estate at Monticello. He obtained from him a large mass of letters and other documents in Mr. Jefferson's own handwriting, giving directions as to his farm, grounds, garden, stock of different kinds, and all the various matters connected with his farm at Monti- ceUo. He also spent several weeks in writing out, in detail, Capt. Bacon's reminiscences of his venerated employer. This work has been prepared exclusively from the materials thus acquired. It is not therefore a rearrangement of historical facts in regard to Mr Jeffer- son, that were already known and accessible to the pub- lic, but a presentation of those that are entirely new.
