The Story of Monticello by Mrs. Littleton
A historical narrative recounts Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, its building from youth through debt, and the bid to keep it as a national shrine. It traces sale decades, Uriah Levy's purchase, later confiscation, and ongoing U.S. efforts to acquire Monticello as a public heritage site with Jefferson's grave secured.
