    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the research librarian at the Jefferson Library at Monticello, Virginia Anna Berkes' assertion that a quotation attributed to the U.S. Founding Father and U.S. President Thomas Jefferson on the relationship between tyranny and citizens' political activity is incorrect. An overview of historical misattributed quotations found on the Jefferson Library's Monticello.org website, including the misquoting of the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, is provided.
