The title of this book is Thomas Jefferson: Father of Democracy, by Vincent Sheean. It was published in a series of books known as the Landmark books. This is a great history series for young people that covers many of the prominent figures and important time periods in history. This one has an interesting inscription from an older brother to his younger brother on his birthday. The inscription reads:

To Ricky on his eleventh birthday. I hope it is swell. I'm sorry I can't be with you to help you celebrate it.
Your buddy & brother, Ken
