  • A summary of Jefferson's life
  • Jefferson's education and early life
  • His political career from 1774 to 1800
  • The presidential campaign of 1800

    This product is part of the Simply Magazine Great Thoughts series, which emphasizes short readings so you can spend your valuable time thinking about the subjects, with time to re-listen to these original works. It's easy to find what you're looking for, because tracks are organized by subject. For example, many people in book clubs discuss the subject after each track. This also works well for teachers, especially as track lengths are relatively short.
