Jefferson's home, Monticello. Jack Jouett had saved Mr. Jefferson, Virginia's Governor, from capture! [4] The ride was the greatest act of Jack Jouett's life. Seldom has it been equalled in the history of the world, and never we believe has there been more at stake then there was on that momentous fourth of June. Mr. Jefferson would have been taken in fetters to England and doubtless have died an arch traitor to the King. Perhaps there would have been no United States; and certainly there would... have been no University of Virginia. Bravely he rode and bravely he lived. His ride was more hazardous, more trying, and beset by graver difficulties than were those fifteen miles of Paul Revere. Through a region of markedly broken topography, through wood and river, hill and val- ley, through pit-fall and quagmire, through a region infested of the enemy, he rode. But with it all no Longfellow has come to sing of him. However the tribe of poets has not died with Longfellow. There was one on the staff of the Charlottesville Daily Progress on October 26, 1909, at the time of the unveiling of the tablet to the memory of Jack Jouett.
