The Online Library of Liberty

Posted on 09/23/2008 6:44:24 PM PDT by Grig

I did some googling on John Adams because of the miniseries on him (want to sort the fact from the dramatization) and found The Online Library of Liberty. Looks like a great resource.

In general the movie is good, but the book is better. I read the book first and then a week later watched the miniseries. You can tell that there are some differences in the two. In the movie some of the dates of when events happened are different then in the book. It would have been better if they had paid more attention to the book.

How was Thom. Jefferson portrayed in the book? The HBO series got a lot of things accurately, but I still felt they erred in having him come across as ‘elitist’, for lack of a better term.

Excellent website. Too bad I canceled my Internet connection at home. I would’ve enjoyed this.
