George Washington and Thomas Jefferson knew each other for more than three decades. Despite this, there has been no book-length study of their relationship. Frank Cogliano of the University of Edinburgh will discuss his book, A Revolutionary Friendship which will be available after the event. There is no more appropriate place to explore this important, but neglected, relationship, which began in Williamsburg!
