  "The wind was a living thing. It tore at his clothes, roared in his ears, clawed at the edges of his resolve. The aluminum skin of the Boeing 727 thrummed beneath his feet, the open airstair rattling in the cold November night..." What began as one man's audacious airline hijacking, extortion and theft of $200,000 in ransom money, and subsequent escape and disappearance, transformed over the years and decades from a simple criminal act into a tale of myth and folklore--making the name, D.B. Cooper, an true American legend.

  A global history of how Thomas Jefferson's descendants navigated the legacy of the Declaration of Independence on both sides of the color line 
   
   
    
  The Declaration of Independence identified two core principles—independence and equality—that defined the American Revolution and the nation forged in 1776. Jefferson believed that each new generation of Americans would have to look to the "experience of the present" rather than the "wisdom" of the past to interpret and apply these principles in new and progressive ways. 
   
   
    
  Historian Christa Dierksheide examines the lives and experiences of a rising generation of Jefferson's descendants, Black and white, illuminating how they redefined equality and independence in a world that was half a century removed from the American Revolution. The Hemingses and Randolphs moved beyond Jefferson and his eighteenth-century world, leveraging their own ideas and experiences in nineteenth-century Britain, China, Cuba, Mexico, and the American West to claim independence and equal rights in an imperial and slaveholding republic.
