Inside the Vault: The Reynolds Pamphlet

What impact did it have on him, his family, and his career? What role did Thomas Jefferson play? How does it affect how we see Alexander, Eliza, and Maria? Join us on October 5 at 7 p.m. ET for a discussion of the Reynolds Pamphlet with Dr. Joanne Freeman of Yale University.
