All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #068 - Friends of Thomas Jefferson, Part 2, Section 1 - Charles Thomson

Charles Thomson was the man who knew where all the bodies were buried. During his 15 years as Secretary of the Continental Congress, he quietly ran the colonies and the country efficiently and effectively, and kept meticulous notes, which he later destroyed. He designed the Great Seal of the United States and personally notified George Washington that he had been elected President. His late-life dementia horrified Jefferson and others who had seen him function at his peak.
