“Tell that story, baby,” my great-aunt told me, “That great American story. Sock it to ‘em, kid.” Welcome! I am Andrew M. Davenport, Ph.D., Vice President for Research and Saunders Director of the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello. Read my writings, watch some of my talks, and please feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
