Someone, in a post above, posted all of the freebies by a company which publishes under the name "Hourly History."

Turns out that they post a "Free-Book Friday" deal every, well, Friday. Today's is Thomas Jefferson: A Life From Beginning to End. It's 50 pages long and is so new that there are no reviews at Amazon yet; however, GoodReads raters give it an average of 4.50 from 4 ratings.

Now, this free book on Fridays promotion is so new to me that I don't know if the free deal lasts only through Friday, or if Hourly History just adds the title to the other freebies that they have at the present time.

How fitting that this bio on Jefferson is the first of the Hourly History Friday freebies to be posted (to my knowledge). Jefferson was an avid bibliophile. In fact, when the mean ole British burned down the Library of Congress in 1814, Jefferson sold more than 6,000 (an enormous library of that day for someone to personally own) to U.S. of his own personal books to help get a new Library of Congress started.

Anyway, here is the direct link to get the free book.
