Adams Family / Norton, Amanda Mathews / Minty, Christopher F. / Fries, Gwen / Woodward, Hobson / Millikan, Neal E. / Barlow, R. M. / Georgini, Sara / Martin, Sara
John and Abigail Adams remained engaged in political life after they left Washington for retirement in Quincy, Mass. A highlight of Volume 15 is a series of letters between Abigail and Thomas Jefferson that debated fundamental questions of the nation's tumultuous early years. Equally compelling family stories emerge in the volume's 251 letters.
