Thomas Jefferson Books Found At Washington University Library

Thomas JeffersonThe Washington University rare books library in St Louis, MO made a discovery this past week:  Several of their items once belonged in the personal library of Thomas Jefferson.  As this article in the St Louis Business Journal states, this makes Wash University "the third-largest holder of Jefferson’s books, after the Library of Congress and the University of Virginia."


Man, Nicholas Cage must be so excited!  You can bet I am going to be there at the premier of National Treasure III: TeeJay and The Wash Have a Sleepover.  You just know that is how that library got its books.  Personally, I just like the image of Tom and George in pjs, braiding each other's wigs.
