Historian Annette Gordon-Reed has studied and written a great deal about the 2nd Presiedent of the United States, Thomas Jefferson's. Gordon-Reed's research includes delving into Jefferson's relationship with his slave Sally Hemings. Interestingly, Hemings was not only Jefferson's property, but she was also the half-sister of his late wife, Martha Wayles; a situation that would make a Jerry Springer episode seem quaint by comparison.
