Description

From the seller
The year 1874 marked a major milestone in Parton's literary career. During this exact year, he published one of his most notable works, The Life of Thomas Jefferson. Shortly after this period, in 1875, he moved from New York City to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he lived out the remainder of his life.
