330 .. $a "In 2000, the newly formed Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society asked a group of more
than a dozen senior scholars from across the country to carefully examine all of the
evidence for and against the allegations that Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more
children by Sally Hemings, one of his slaves, and to issue a public report. In April
2001, after a year of study, the Scholars Commission issued the most detailed report
to date on the issue. With but a single mild dissent, the views of the distinguished
panel ranged from "serious skepticism" to a conviction that the allegation was "almost
certainly false." This volume, edited by Scholars Commission Chairman Robert F. Turner,
includes the "Final Report"?essentially a summary of arguments and conclusions?as
it was released to the press on April 12, 2001. However, several of the statements
of individual views?which collectively total several hundred carefully footnoted pages
and constitute the bulk of the book?have been updated and expanded to reflect new
insights or evidence since the report was initially released." -- from publisher's
