| Sponsored by the Creative Writing Program at NYU Arts & Science In the spring of 1791 Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, seeking, in Madison’s words, “health recreation & curiosity,” decided to go on an extended holiday together. As Christopher Benfey writes in the Review’s March 12 issue:
Unburdened by knowledge of the future, on their sojourn the Founding Friends nonetheless managed to encounter everywhere intimations of the nation’s future: “an invasive pest known as the Hessian fly, which had devastated the American wheat crop over the previous decade; an encounter with a free Black farmer in New York; the sugar maple tree of Vermont; and an interview with a few Indians on eastern Long Island.” Below, alongside Benfey’s essay, are five articles from our archives about Jefferson and Madison.
