Biography:
Thomas Jefferson, the main author of the Declaration of Independence and America's third President, was a man of many interests, talents, and achievements. He became the indirect source of the name that is chosen for the city because a mother named her son Thomas Jefferson Pettigrew, hoping to bring her boy "luck" (214) - which might better be understood as 'respect.'
