Description:

Published by James R. Osgood, Boston, 1874. The author (1822 - 1891) was an American biographer who wrote the lives of Horace Greeley, Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, and Voltaire; he was the most successful biographer of his time. In this book, Parton raises the subject of Sally "Henings" as a "Campaign Lie": "there were allusions to a certain "Dusky Sally" otherwise Sally Henings (sic), whose children were said to resemble the master of Monticello in their features and the color of their hair. In this particular Campaign Lie there was just that fractional portion of the truth which was necessary to preserve it fresh and vigorous to this day. There is even a respectable Madison Henings (sic), now living in Ohio who supposes that Thomas Jefferson was his father. Mr. Henings has been misinformed." (p569).
