Author Derek Baxter discusses his book, In Pursuit of Jefferson: Traveling through Europe with the Most Perplexing Founding Father. Derek’s book is about a little-known travel guide written by Thomas Jefferson in 1788 titled, “Hints for Americans Traveling in Europe.” Derek came across this travel guide online and was surprised to find out that it wasn’t talked about much by historians. Armed with the guide, Derek and his family set out to recreate Jefferson’s travels and to follow his “Hints for Americans.” Derek’s book, In Pursuit of Jefferson, tells the tale of those travels.
