Jefferson Wept
What would happen if Thomas Jefferson could visit the United States today? What would he think of our country and our Government? An actual historical event joined Thomas Jefferson, the father of The Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin, the father of early electricity experimentation, Antoine Lavoisier, the father of Enlightenment Era Chemistry, and the mysterious physician, Anton Mesmer, considered the father of somnambulist hypnosis, animal magnetism, and clairvoyance. They were all thrust together in the strange matter of Marie Antoinette. The author researched this incident at the Library of Congress and verified the reports sent to King Louis by both Lavoisier and a separate report from Benjamin Franklin.
The rest of the tale is the product of the author's imagination and takes us through the turbulent times leading up to the French Revolution. In the process of examining Dr. Mesmer's strange inventions, these four "fathers" embark on a great and perilous adventure that ultimately allows Jefferson to indeed travel through time and he appears today and confronts the political circumstances and turmoil of 21st century America and what he sees of the government and our present Constitution is why I called this book…Jefferson Wept.
