Travel back in time to 18th century Paris and spend an evening with two of America's favorite Founding Fathers. In the comfort of Jefferson's residence, you sit down with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and they tell you in their own words the most interesting stories of their lives, stories to delight anyone interested in history, wine, food, travel, politics, or the pleasure of a good read. You share their travels through France, England, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, and America, their accomplishments, disappointments, embarrassments, opinions of contemporaries and political enemies, women in their lives, spies in their midst, wine, food, social activities, thoughts on religion and slavery, intrigues, unfolding of the French revolution, Jefferson presidential years, and much more. Franklin and Jefferson were wine and food enthusiasts, and wine is a topic of conversation throughout the evening including Jefferson's favorite wines available today, their favorite foods, Franklin's wine ventures, Jefferson's trip through Southern France and Italy visiting the vineyards and Roman antiquities, his visits to the vineyards of Germany and Champagne, Philip Mazzei's vineyard experiment, the "Jefferson wine bottles" fraud, etc. The book's back cover contains encomiums from Walter Isaacson and Robert M. Parker, Jr. "The friendship between Franklin and Jefferson is a delectable part of America's founding, and it was fueled by dinner, wine, and conversation. Jim Gabler captures those aspects and more in this fictional but fact-based imaginative journey. It reminds us of the wisdom and joy these two men brought to their lives" WALTER ISAACSON "James Gabler, taking a page from Jack Kerouac, has constructed a brilliant roman a clef around wine and the lives and travels of Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. This is a marvelously enlightening book for both historians and wine enthusiasts." ROBERT M. PARKER, JR JAMES GABLER is the author of the award winning biography, Passions: The Wines and Travels of Thomas Jefferson, Wine into Words: A History and Bibliography of Wine Books in the English Language, Be Your Own Wine Expert, and two novels, The Secret Formula and God's Devil.

The Way To Wealth Benjamin Franklin 250th Anniversary Edition: Commentary by Jeffery Reeves

In 1758, Benjamin Franklin published the 25th and final issue of Poor Richard's Almanac. As a preface to this final edition, he wrote The Way to Wealth and introduced Father Abraham as the main character in the tale.Father Abraham embodied the financial wisdom that "Poor" Richard Saunders - one of Benjamin Franklin's many pen names - incorporated in the 25 years during which the almanac was a staple on mantels above fireplaces, in personal libraries and on the tables of colonial America. In 2008, on the 250th anniversary year of that event, Jeffrey Reeves is adding a unique and timely perspective to this classic book about money and life.The wisdom that Dr. Benjamin Franklin captured in The Way to Wealth is timeless. However, the vernacular of 1758 sometimes obscures the meaning for today's economy and for the personal economies of 21st Century Americans. Jeffrey's commentary adds clarity to the language and insights found in The Way to Wealth's tested and true principles and practices.
