President Thomas Jefferson was the driving force behind the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. A true renaissance man with a myriad of interests, he called science his “passion.” Jefferson made contributions to various fields including botany, paleontology, meteorology, ethnology, and comparative anatomy. Moreover, he was an amateur archaeologist who, in 1783, was spurred by a document from the French government to lead an excavation of a Monacan Indian burial mound on the Rivanna River near Monticello. Historian and journalist Richard H. “Rick” Britton specializes in the 18th and 19th centuries of the Old Dominion and offers insights into this era.
