Thomas Jefferson was a man of unusual intelligence, ability, and accomplishment.
In fact, as President John F. Kennedy once welcomed forty-nine Nobel laureates to the White House, he said, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Jefferson's love of learning and his ability to work diligently prepared him to be the principal author of the Declaration of Independence when he was just thirty-three years old. In less than three weeks he drafted the document that would change the course of history and influence the lives of untold millions.
