Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson by Alan Pell 
Crawford

Time: Noon–1 PM

Place: The Library of Virginia


The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce that Alan Pell Crawford will be 
with us to discuss and sign his new book, Twilight at Monticello:The Final 
Years of Jefferson, on Thursday, March 13, 2008 at Noon.  In his latest work, 
Crawford paints an authoritative and deeply moving portrait of Thomas 
Jefferson as private citizen–the first original depiction of the man in more than 
a generation. A resident scholar at the International Center for Jefferson 
Studies at Monticello in 2003, Crawford uses historical information from a 
variety of personal letters, documents and newspaper clippings to paint a 
detailed portrait of Jefferson in retirement.

This event is free to the public.

The Library of Virginia is located at 800 East Broad Street in downtown 
Richmond.  A limited amount of free parking is available under the building.
