Thank you Carl Rollyson for a balanced review of this new book.
Let us recall that it was exactly two centuries ago that Burr was improperly arrested and taken to Richmond, where he had to defend himself against treason charges in the summer of 1807. To save himself from being hung, while the president's office bribed witness William Eaton with $10,000., Burr directed a spectacular defense to prove he was innocent.
The Aaron Burr Association, founded in 1946 to inform the public about the real Aaron Burr, appreciates the dissemination of all true information about The Fallen Founder. Don't hate, appreciate!
