Before going on vacation, I picked up a copy of Mr. Jefferson's Women by our good friend Jon Kukla.

I enjoyed it very much.  While at Mt. Rushmore, I ventured into the bookstore, and there it was on the bookshelf, as suggested reading. Good for you Jon.

Now I know that Jon is outstanding in his research but one area of the book leaves me a bit puzzled.

Does it mean that other than Sally Hemings there were no other "encounters" in his life?  I raise this question because there is discussion about Jefferson's interest in "body fluids."

If Jon or anyone who has read this book could clarify this for me it would be most welcome.
