The Younger Jefferson, Wythe and Harrison
Could he be the most famous alternate in all of history? Thomas Jefferson was not on the first list to be a delegate to Philadelphia representing his state. But its good that he was, because John Adams and Doctor Franklin found him to be the best writer for the independence document. But that's something that seems to have occured to this young man throughout his life - he met the right people. We know so much about what happened to Jefferson after he wrote 'In the course of human events..." but how about the younger Thomas Jefferson. We discuss this. in this episode.. We also discuss Benjamin Harrison and George Wythe, a Signer who was very famous at the time of the signing and may have been poisoned by a jealous nephew.
