"Thomas Jefferson: America's
Paradoxical Patriot"
Paperback: 512 pages
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0-7425-6017-1 /
978-0-7425-6017-8
Date: Nov 28,
2007
This
ground-breaking biography has been universally acclaimed as a
landmark work on Thomas Jefferson's early and mature years. Mapp
follows Jefferson from his birth in 1743 through the American
Revolution and up until his inauguration as President of the United
States in 1801. Along the way we rediscover Jefferson the student at
William and Mary, the Virginia politician, and the foreign diplomat.
In these pages, Mapp sheds new light on Jefferson's career and
private life. The portrait is rich and full of a living complexity
that defies the simple sketches often offered by those who would
either canonize or demonize this reluctant founding
father.
"A monumental
reassessment of Jefferson's character and impact."—Booklist
"A life-recording, life-giving, entrancing and revealing study of a
great American."—Richard
Eberhart, Author of Long Reach: New and Uncollected Poems
and the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book
Award "Alf J. Mapp probably
best expresses why Jefferson remains so fascinating more than 150
years after his death and why he remains a continual challenge for
the biographer . . . [A] reassessment that is not only convincing
but also readable and enthralling."—Richmond
Times-Dispatch "Elegantly
written and overflowing with evocative detail. . . . a splendid work
of history and biography."—Book-of-the-Month Club

"The Faiths of
Our Fathers: What America's Founders Really
Believed"
Hardcover: 184 pages
Publisher: Rowman &
Littlefield
ISBN:
0-7425-3114-7
Date: September
2003
"What did America's Founders believe?
Delving once again into the nation's archives, Alf J. Mapp Jr. gives
us a remarkably perceptive look at the beliefs, and the characters,
of eleven of the architects of our democracy. Here are Thomas
Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams, George
Washington, John Marshall, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton, George
Mason, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and Haym Salomon, considered
as no previous author has presented them. Each holds the stage
as his story unfolds in the insightful and engaging prose readers
expect from Mapp. Few writers possess such a degree of
familiarity with the Founders as this Virginia historian...
Who better to answer a question many ponder in this age of great
interest in the Founders and in religion? Even Mapp, who has
spent years researching the era of the Founders, admits to finding
some surprises. Drawing upon their letters and other writings,
testimony from their contemporaries, and documented information
about their actions and associations, Mapp offers as reliable
assessment as is attainable of the religious and philosophical
beliefs of each of the men. He demonstrates how circumstances
in their lives may have molded their views and political position,
and how their views changed over a lifetime. Readers
emerge with a keener appreciation of the special attributes of the
Founders and what they contributed to the creation of our
country... Mapp's audience for this work should be
large." ___Pat Royal Perkinson, Pleasant Living
Magazine
"Alf
Mapp, Jr. makes clear in The Faiths
of Our Fathers, the
Founders were dedicated to the cause of religious freedom. And
little wonder, when one considers the variety of their
affiliations. Among the 11 figures that Mr. Mapp
discusses-including Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Alexander
Hamilton, George Mason, Charles Carroll, Haym Solomon-one may find
deists, Anglicans, a Catholic, a Jew and even a Unitarian. If
the Founders were neither atheists nor fundamentalists, neither were
they coreligionists. Thus America became the first nation to
disestablish religion and protect the free exercise of religion by
law." __Terry Eastland in the Wall Street
Journal
"Bed of
Honor"
(historical fiction)
Paperback: 640 pages
Publisher:

September 2000
"Sweeping historical
fiction at its best. Virginia after the Civil War; New
Orleans, Paris, Rome, Washington, and politics; Southern belles,
black and white; steamy passions and murder. Appealingly
realistic characters. Highly recommended." _Theodore
Taylor, author of The
Stalker
"A
first-rate novel, elegantly crafted and thoroughly
satisfying." ___George Garrett, author of Death of the
Fox

Ages: Discovering the Creative Secrets of Renaissance
Florence, Elizabethan England, and America's
Founding"

"Three Golden Ages
is itself a remarkable creation. To it, Alf J. Mapp, Jr. has
brought a masterful prose style and years of teaching and writing in
many disciplines. The result is a book of wit and wisdom...It
is a joy to find a book like Three Golden Ages....No lesson
is more urgently needed as the twenty-first century
begins." _Paul Nagel, author of John Quincy Adams: A Public
Life, a Private
Life
