Repost of Legacy Club of Boston’s deep appreciation foe our Founding Fathers.

Legacy Club of Boston honors one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 - July 4, 1826) who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national level. He nearly doubled the size of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase by buying land west of the original 13 colonies from Napoleon of France.

What you may not know—

1. Jefferson was also an accomplished architect. He designed his famous home at Monticello as well as buildings for the University of Virginia.

2. He had nine brothers and sisters.
The White House was called the Presidential Mansion at the time when he lived there. He kept things informal, often answering the front door himself.

3. The U.S. Congress purchased Jefferson's book collection in order to help him get out of debt. There were approximately 6000 books which became the start of the Library of Congress.

4. He wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone. On it he listed what he considered his major accomplishments. He did not include becoming president of the United States.
