Excerpt from The Encyclopedia Americana, Vol. 16 of 30: A Library of Universal Knowledge
In December 1793 Jefferson resigned from the cabinet and returned to Monticello, where he remained for four years, studying farming. His estate at this time contained acres of land, worked by 154 slaves, and stocked with 34 horses, 5 mules and 249 cattle. Among the negroes he had a sort of industrial (manual training) school, and taught them to be cabinet makers, bricklayers, masons and smiths.
