  • Jefferson and Cyrus
    photo source: www.kdhamptons.com photo source: Bruno Barbey Monticello, the Mausoleum of Cyrus the Great Home of Thomas Jefferson ca. 530 BC * JEFFERSON AND CYRUS HOW THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF AMERICA, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, WERE INSPIRED BY CYRUS THE GREAT : A SYNOPSIS Richard N. Frye, Harvard University and Afshin Zand, Independent Scholar Summer 2013. www.richardfrye.org © Richard Frye and Afshin Zand, 2013. 2nd Edition, Feb 2014. Though twenty‐three centuries apart in time, continents apart in space, their systems of republican and monarchical government ostensibly diametric opposites of each other, the Founding Fathers of America and the founders of the Iranian state were close in the realm of ideas ‐ ideas that underlie systems of governance vying to institute liberty and justice. America’s Founding Fathers were avid readers of Cyrus’s biography, the Cyropaedia, written by a student of Socrates, Xenophon, being the masterpiece among his works. Leaders at any age stand to benefit from inspiration, which plants its seeds for later manifestation and realization. Such inspiration that the Founding Fathers drew from Cyrus, amidst all the ancient and modern sources they were exposed to, was because they found his ideas and aspirations resonating with their own inmost beliefs, values and convictions. The Cyropaedia describes Cyrus’s character, that made him into an ideal ruler. It is an exposition of timeless qualities of leadership. It has since served as the World’s manual of leadership, from Alexander, Scipio, Cicero, Caesar, Machiavelli who read and drew inspiration from it, so on to our times. In the estimation of Peter Drucker, widely recognized as the father of modern management science, the first book on leadership was still the best.

  • SP Bencoolynfarm D9.Pdf
    THOMAS JEFFERSON APRIL 9, 1797 View of Ben Coolyn Farm from main residence looking northwest towards vineyard and Southwest Mountains. THE FIRST EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN SETTLERS arrived at the Chestnut or Little Mountains in the 1730s, gradually establishing small farms and dwellings in what was then western Goochland County, Virginia. Known today as the Southwest Mountains, an approximately 45-mile chain of northeast to southwest oriented peaks extending from Orange County on the north to the Rivanna River on the south, this geographic landmark is the easternmost BEN COOLYN ridge of the Appalachian Mountains in central Virginia. The eastern slope of the Southwest Mountains attracted many early settlers due to its fertile and well-drained soils, as well as the abundance of natural resources. In 1797 Thomas Jefferson, whose Monticello residence is located in the Carter’s Mountain ridge of the same chain, described the Southwest Mountains as “the Eden of the United States for soil, climate, navigation and health.” An area rich in heritage, this part of Albemarle County possesses numerous historic homes surrounded by agricultural landscapes. The Southwest Mountains district still retains a landscape characteristic of its agricultural past with forested mountains, rolling hills, numerous drainages and open fields, one which its original settlers would still recognize today. Many of the region’s cultural and natural place names present in the mid-eighteenth century still survive today and provide a tangible link to the past. Ben Coolyn is one of several prominent estates that occupy the foothills of the Southwest Mountains. Its siting on a low ridge with a 360-degree view make it one of the most beautiful situations in Albemarle County.

    Tis pamphlet is a reprint of the executive summary of Te Jeferson-Hemings Controversy: Report of the Scholars Commission, the defnitive 412-page inquiry into the Jeferson- Hemings issue conducted by 12 distinguished scholars in 2001 under the leadership of Professor Robert F. Turner and published in book form by the Carolina Academic Press, ISBN-13: 978-0890890851. Te Scholars’ individual conclusions, with the exception of one member, ranged from “serious skepticism about the charge to a conviction that it is almost certainly false”. Reprinted with the permission of Professor Robert F. Turner, the Tomas Jeferson Heritage Society, and the Carolina Academic Press. July 4, 2016 Preface For more than two centuries there have been rumors and allegations that Thomas Jef- ferson had a long-term sexual relationship with an enslaved woman named Sally Hem- ings. They originated from the pen of a disreputable journalist named James Thomson Callender in October 1802 and were picked up by Federalist editors and abolitionists in the United States and abroad. Most serious Jefferson scholars and many of Jefferson’s po- litical enemies dismissed them, in part because the notorious Callender lacked credibil- ity and in part because the charge seemed so out of character for Jefferson. But the story resurfaced with the 1974 publication of Fawn Brodie’s Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate Bi- ography and became more believable in the 1997 book by Annette Gordon-Reed, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Perhaps the most decisive development in the case was the publication in the prestigious British science journal Nature in November 1998 of results of a DNA study linking Sally Hemings’ youngest son to a Jeferson father.

PROPERTY RIGHTS IN JOHN MARSHALL'S VIRGINIA: THE CASE OF CRENSHAW AND CRENSHAW V. SLATE RIVER COMPANY J. GORDON HYLTON* As Jim Ely has reminded us, historians have long associated John Marshall with the twin causes of constitutional nationalism and the protection of property rights.! However, it would be a mistake to assume that these two concepts were inseparable or that it was Marshall's embrace of both that set him apart from his opponents. Nowhere is the severability of the two propositions more apparent than with Marshall's critics in his home state of Virginia.

  • Monticello's Park Cemetery
    Abstract This report describes recent archaeological research conducted at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello Plantation in Albemarle County, Virginia. In 2000 and 2001 the Thomas Jefferson Foundation’s Department of Archaeology undertook a series of field research initiatives to confirm the presence of a cemetery used by enslaved African Americans at Monticello. In 2002 the Department conducted another round of fieldwork aimed at refining detection techniques for unmarked cemeteries of this nature. Fieldwork conducted between 2000 and 2002 included several campaigns of remote sensing, using several geophysical methods, and test excavations, using five-foot quadrats. The burial ground is situated in the present-day Visitors Parking Lot, in a semi-wooded island surrounded on four sides by pavement. It is likely that this cemetery was one of several used by this community during Thomas Jefferson’s tenure at Monticello, but is the only one on the property that the Foundation has located to date. In Jefferson’s day, the area where the cemetery is located was called “the Park.” Based on this historical association and the likelihood that slaves were buried elsewhere at Monticello, in this report we adopt the name Park Cemetery for this African-American burial ground. The cemetery measures approximately 75 feet north-south by 65 feet east-west, and appears to have been completely preserved during the building of the parking lot. Approximately two dozen depressions were visible prior to any fieldwork; these were suspected burials. Twenty burials, some corresponding to depressions and some in areas without depressions, were identified in archaeological excavations. The burials were identified by excavating the top several inches of ground surface to expose the outlines of the grave shafts.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs' if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
