In this episode, Dr. H. and Professor Brian Dotts (Education, UGa) discuss Thomas Jefferson's preference for and love of the Roman historian Tacitus. They answer these questions: Why did TJ rank Tacitus first among all historians? Was a preference for moral (interested) history a breach of TJ's avowal that all history ought to be unbiased (disinterested)? How was Tactitus' approach to history different from others of his day? Is Dr. Dotts' pet lab as big a hot dog at Dr. H's Jefferson-Jackson?

Professor Dotts, was very knowledgeable on Jefferson, which was impressive, having not specializing on Jefferson. And he was very easy to listen to. He , coupled with Dr. Holowchak's, vast knowledge of Jeffersonian history, made for a very interesting dialog! Both of these gentlemen, I would venture, would have eager students, if given the chance, to absorb their knowledge.
