The book focuses on the establishment of the University of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson and his close friend, Joseph Cabell. It explores the history and development of the university, from its inception in 1819 to the time of the book's publication. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the university's history. It begins with a discussion of the early planning stages of the university, including Jefferson's vision for the institution and the challenges he faced in getting it off the ground. The book then goes on to examine the university's early years, including its curriculum, faculty, and student body. Throughout the book, Patton provides detailed accounts of the various individuals who played a role in the university's development, including Jefferson, Cabell, and other notable figures such as James Madison and James Monroe. He also explores the political and social context in which the university was established, discussing issues such as slavery and the role of education in the early 19th century.Overall, Jefferson, Cabell, And The University Of Virginia is a comprehensive and informative account of the history of one of America's most prestigious universities.
