In further reading, I have read that Thomas Jefferson had a set of Federalist essays that he had annotated.

After looking around the various Google suggestions, I’m not finding anything about it.

Do you gents have a quick link?

In the meantime, I’ll keep looking.

That’s news to me. If you find anything about this, I’d like to know about it.

This was my starting point:

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/jefffed.html

You’ll see the information in the 4th pane. I’m trying to find it in the Rare Books and Special Collections section.

Interesting. However, one sentence really bothered me.

However, once Jefferson received sufficient votes in the electoral college...

Dead wrong. The deadlock in the Electoral College threw the election into the House of Representatives, and it was the House that made the call. Edward Larson's A Magnificent Catastrophe: The Tumultuous Election of 1800, America's First Presidential Campaign covers all this in great detail.

That went plunk to me; it didn't sound right but I didn't know why at the time I read it.

The focus on finding annotated Papers is fascinating to me. I would LOVE to read what Jefferson had noted. Yet, I'm turning up nothing.

A few years back I checked on something else. Looks like I'm going to go searching again.

I was on a site earlier today that got hijacked by a bunch of gangbanger flash mob maggots who were peeved because they got busted for raiding a store or something.

No disrespect, but is it necessary to overrun this location...?

I have all of this documentation in hard copy, and read it twenty years back.

Wading through this again here is like hunting for turtles in my swamp. I know they are there, and I know what they are. A waste of time.

Did you ever find those annotated papers by Jefferson?

Excellent job. Really. An amazing compilation that i have put at the front of my list of things to read.

And I’m glad that idiot up there was banned.

I got a couple of embarrassing corrections to make first, though. I screwed up on Marius and Sulla in Rome and reversed their identities. Sheesh.

Hey Pub' - the other book proof may have gotten sent to the wrong address. I'll track it down. That one's ready, maybe. Anyone here want to read our stuff about Atlas Shrugged?

When we're ready with the book, I'll tout us on this site as thoroughly as Travis did with his latest story.

Where oh where is that proof?

Since I wrote that I have exchanged emails with someone who may know, or will know a person who will know.

I’ll hit the email after I write this.

I already bookmarked the Atlas Shrugged material when i saw the wonderful compilation of links on Publius’ homepage. Looking forward to reading it!

Publius, remind me again how to check that number? I’m thinking that feature disappeared, but not sure. I think mine was 4180, so between Dec ‘97 and Apr ‘98 this place exploded. Gee, i wonder what was going on during THAT time period. ;-) It’s also a reflection on how many people were hitting Drudge’s site at the time (for the Whitewater link).

Years ago, another FReeper showed me how to find the signup number, but I’ve forgotten how to do it. Sorry

Have you purchased the Rush Limbaugh series.

I have all 3 books - and I keep hearing so many good things about them. The kids love them and end up enjoying reading.

Book 1 - The Pilgrims
Book 2 - The First Patriots
Book 3 - The Revolution
