  The first full-scale study of Jefferson's attitudes toward New England, from his first visit to Boston in 1784 to the last years of his life, when he recruited Massachusetts scholars to teach at his University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson's Image of New England reveals that Jefferson was a consistent nationalist and friend of the region.
