Though revered for the Declaration of Independence and for his presidency, it was actually science, nature, and the study of fossils that most fascinated Thomas Jefferson. Author Candice Ransom and I explore that lesser known side of the founding father in Bones in the White House: Thomas Jefferson’s Mammoth, published by Doubleday/Random House.
