Cunningham's work reveals not only the crossing of political paths but also the "Constant Friendship and Respect" between the two founding fathers. Interesting to read the georgrphical and political comparisons of the two Viginian

Both men served as governor of Virginia, minister to France, secretary of state, and president for two terms
