Jeff said life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I guess all we can do is chase happiness?

Anything by David McCullough. His "John Adams" should fit the bill Finished 'John Adams' last year, excellent book. Jon Meacham's "Jefferson: The Art of Power" is the only Jefferson biography I've read, and enjoyed it.

Come to Charlottesville,VA and check out Monticello. I'm sure you will find it interesting. Monticello was $$$ last time I went, and it's been a while. Heard it got " woke" too...

Not exactly what you asked for but a good book on the next generation is "Heirs of the Founders". It's about Henry Clay, John Calhoun, and Daniel Webster. It covers the 1830-1860 period. It's available on Amazon.
