This blog entry came up in my Google Alert a few days ago - its main focus is actually a cathedral in Saigon, but it incidentally mentions a fascinating little episode in Jefferson's life of which I was heretofore unaware.
A new intriguing book on the shelves: Impossible Engineering: Technology and Territoriality on the Canal du Midi, by Chandra Mukerji. This dovetails nicely with one of our TJ Encyclopedia articles, which features an itinerary of Jefferson's travels through southern France and Italy - during which, yes, he visited the Canal du Midi.
