Willard Sterne Randall is an American historian and author who specializes in biographies related to the American colonial period and the American Revolution. He teaches American history at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. This authoritative, single-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson captures the public and private man as well as the tumultuous age in which he lived. Throughout the narrative, with stories of Jefferson's earliest youth in colonial Virginia to his tragic final days at Monticello, we encounter a dynamic man committed to a search for a meaningful and authentic way of life. In addition to the author's scholarship and the detective work on the Jefferson papers at Princeton University, the author calls on his skills as an investigative journalist to unearth new material.

The Patriots were led by Major Light Horse Harry Lee, and launched a nighttime raid on the British-controlled fort in what is today downtown Jersey City. They surprised the British, taking 158 prisoners, and withdrew with the approach of daylight. Despite retaining the fort and its cannons, the British lost much of their control over New Jersey. Lee was rewarded by the Second Continental Congress with a gold medal, the only non-general to receive such an award during the war. More

Charles Phillips Russell was a journalist and biographer who taught both in the English department and in the journalism school at the University of North Carolina, mentoring journalists and writers alike. He is best known for his popular biographies of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Paul Jones. Russell, Charles Phillips (5 Aug. 1884–20 Nov. 1974) was a teacher, author, and newspaperman. He was graduated in 1904 from The University of North Carolina, where he was editor of The Tar Heel and one of the founders of the Golden Fleece, an honorary society. After graduation he worked on the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune and London Daily Express. In 1931 Russell returned to Chapel Hill to teach creative writing at The University of North Carolina for the next twenty-five years. The Atlantic Monthly described his class, often held outdoors under the trees, as one of the four best in the United States. His numerous books ranged from an early travel account of Mexico and the Yucatan, Red Tiger to highly regarded biographies. His book about his great-aunt Cornelia Phillips Spencer, The Woman Who Rang the Bell, received the North Carolina Mayflower Award. Russell was the first president of the North Carolina Society of County and Local Historians and the author of North Carolina in the Revolutionary War. More
