James T. Callender reported on the Jefferson-Hemmings affair.
- markdog12 9y agoYep, same guy who reported on the Hamilton-Reynolds scandal. Difference is Hamilton confessed, not a lot of people probably believed Callender on Hemmings. Callender was also on Jefferson's payroll specifically to pen rabid attacks on Hamilton. Very interesting dynamic there: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/history/2016/08/james_callender_the_attack_dog_who_took_aim_at_alexander_hamilton_and_thomas.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/history/2016...
