1775 Chief Colonial Commander Commission Document Hand Writing Jefferson Leader Lieutenant Militia South East Virginia Albemarle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in American history - the commissioning of Thomas Jefferson as Commander in Chief of the militia of Abermarle County, Virginia. Dated 26 September 1775, this document represents the early stages of Jefferson's illustrious career as a leader and statesman. The image captures the essence of colonial America with its authentic hand writing and aged appearance. The text is meticulously written, highlighting the importance placed on this appointment during a time when tensions were rising between Britain and its American colonies. Thomas Jefferson, who would later become one of America's most influential presidents, is depicted as a young lieutenant commander ready to take charge. His determined expression reflects his commitment to defending Albemarle County against any threats it may face. This photograph transports us back to an era when South East America was still under British rule. It serves as a reminder that even before he became president, Thomas Jefferson played an integral role in shaping our nation's future by leading local militias during these turbulent times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of the courage and dedication displayed by our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson - individuals who laid the groundwork for the freedoms we enjoy today.
