McCullough,
John Adams,

McCullough makes the case that, contrary to the conventional view, there is “no evidence” that Adams was “downcast, [and] bitter.” Sharp agrees, writing that “there is little evidence that an enraged and ill-tempered Adams [was] skulking out of Washington at the last moment to avoid public humiliation.” (Sharp,
Deadlocked Election of 1800,
165–66.)

Wilentz,
Rise of American Democracy,
99, offers this memorable image: “The first thing that Thomas Jefferson saw as president was the dark face of John Marshall, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who had just sworn him into office. The two were second cousins, related through the august Randolph family of Virginia—and they intensely disliked each other's politics.” (Ibid.) See also Jean Edward Smith,
John Marshall: Definer of a Nation
(New York, 1996). For more on the rivalry between the two Virginians, see R. Kent Newmyer,
John Marshall and the Heroic Age of the Supreme Court
(Baton Rouge, La., 2001), 146–209, which focuses on Jefferson's presidential years, and James F. Simon,
What Kind of Nation: Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, and the Epic Struggle to Create a United States
(New York, 2002).
